Well, it's time to go to an enclosed so I'm going to get rid of my little trailer that has treated me very well for the 18 months that I've had it.
I had this trailer custom made based off of the Brunton design (
http://stalkercars.com/trailers/) As they are based in Florida it would have been prohibitively expensive for me to have one shipped.
4" drop axles with a ~14ft bed that tilts at the axle centerline. Inside wheel well dimensions are ~74". This is a fair bit longer than the Brunton design to account for loading my lower than standard car.
This trailer will load very low cars without any extra wood/ramps. I could drive my lotus clone at 3" ride height up the trailer without issue. at 1.75" ride height I have to use some 1" boards for an increased ramp (about 3")
Trailer is very light and can easily be towed behind a car - I towed my ~1200lb car and barely noticed it was there behind my Audi station wagon.
Trailer has a 2" hitch and 7 pin connector with electric trailer brakes and breakaway battery (you won't find this on a trailer this small normally)
Trailer was built in July of 2012 and has been to haul my lotus rep to racing events around the northwest - I've put right at 3000 miles on it since new. I've checked the brakes and repacked the bearings each October/November at the end of the race season.
The wheels & tires are about 6-8 months old. Someone stole the original ones off of the trailer so they were replaced with radial trailer tires and new wheels. The spare tire is a bias ply tire. All three wheels have locks on them.
For a fellow locoster how how about I start at 2500 OBO? You'd be hard pressed to buy the materials and components to build a similar trailer for that much. I have an Oregon Title in hand.
