Default HELP!!! TRAILER/CAR LENGTH!!!

My trailer had two wheel bearings gone and cut a long stroy short will not be ready for friday.

i have found a 12FT trailer localy i could hire, but could someone with a classic please measure from the front bumper to the rear wheels and see if it would fit!!!!

Otherwise i will need to find another trailer if anyone knows of one i could borrow or hire in the sounthend area. i will have very little time on friday to sort out picking it up and then heading off to scotland for the next TA round...

Sorry Mike, mines not here to measure.

But, have found a few specs Here

Overall length 4415mm

Wheelbase 2525mm

So I'm guessing about 3500mm for the measure you're after.

What about Phil's trailer?

I know that the last time I spoke to Phil (at the H/H) the trailer had the Pug on the back and had been carted off to have work done on it.

What about Nate?

Nope sold.....

Nate has given me a number to contact, but they are not answering the phone at this time, will have to try in the morning...
Was given the option of a trailer from Newhalls but the length is 12' not 14' and i'm not sure the car will fit.

If it has a lift up tailgate then it will need to 14', if not the 12 will be ok, wheels will fit on a 10.5'

just measured my Scoob and it's just over 12' from the rear wheel to the front bumper, not sure if it would make any difference as I've got a 22B bumper

Thanks for the offer.... But mine has air ducting built in etc....

Have spoken with Zak and he thinks it's very tight, probably too tight.
He has however offered me the loan of his trailer for the weekend

Just need to check if i can get it on the trailer now that my car has been droped in height a little further.

There may also be an option of a trailer that Nate has put me on to...

Thanks guys

Glad you now seem sorted
