Anyone know who's car/trailer this is?

If you find out I would also like to know, as I am sure would others on here.

No worse than bending the car around a country bend or roundabout at 60MPH.

The axle units and tow hook are silly expensive new.... if you can find them second hand somewhere... you could halve hte price of the trailer!

If you're towing it with a car on you want brakes on the trailer. The wheels and tyres on the trailer in the top picture look totally inadequate
for the job they are doing unless it's just for moving it round the yard.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Also Trailer need Ligths and Mudgaurds to be legal.
THe traier is only rated to 750KG due to lack of Brakes. That is if the hubs can take take weight.
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

And how much do you think a se7en should weigh?

The 750kg is only for vehicles heavy enough to tow a trailer of that weight otherwise 2/3 the weight of the towing vehicle is a guide but it is still
not ideal to tow a heavy unbraked trailer especially in less than perfect conditions like rain etc even with a larger vehicle.

Weyhey - that's my loverly trailer...
having borrowed trailers on a couple of occasions & it being a complete pain, I decided to make one. The trailer was made to the car so the
ratchet straps are to stop it flying off somewhere if I crash, the car can't actually move on the trailer. The trailer weighs about 130kg &
the car 440kg so I'm well under the 750kg limit and the 650ish limit for the tow car for an unbraked trailer.
I agree that if I were using it all the time I'd want something a bit better, but it's just basically for rescue now & hasn't
been used for a year. It does have mudguards - the originals fell apart on the first journey so the replacements have aluminium bracing inside! The
picture is after its 2nd journey back from a sucessful afternoon at the SVA in Chadderton.
It's basically 3 ally channels with a galvanised steel A frame & cost me a bit over £500 to make a couple of years ago
