Loan of Trailer to move my locost project
Can anyone help ?
Have bought a part built Locost (rolling chassis) from a guy in Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear (coincidentally the town where I also live !).
Unfortunately I don't currently have any secure dry free storage for it, and wont for up to a year until I get a garage built on side of the
house- planning permission, builder sorted, bulding done etc.
Parents near Keswick, Cumbria offered to store it free but I need to tow it there on a trailer, and the only people I was banking on to lend me one
are using theirs this Saturday when I need to move it.
Is there anyone reasonably local to Whitley Bay who could lend me a car trailer this Saturday for some beer tokens(pick it up early Sat AM or sooner
and back on Sat approx tea-time) ???
Any help appreciated
Cheers
Angus

 lol at your avatar thats great
what does it weight? 400-500kg? you could possably tow it using a frame like this -
just bolt one together from angle and a cheap ball hitch

why? have you ever taxed a trailer?
until it's SVA'd it's not even a car...

Locoboy is absolutely right if you tow a car it must be road legal. It is also doubtful whether towing dollies are legal for anything except recovery
of a broken down vehicle.
Just a thought, would the seller wait until your friend's trailer is available?
Do hope you get fixed up.

As per my u2u, Indespension in Shiremoor will hire you a trailer for a day for a reasonable cost (about 1/5 of a Ron).
