Looking for a covered trailer - Eco-trailers??

[andyouteast]

I’m looking for a covered trailer to get my Caterham SV to/from trackdays, but there seems to be very little available.

I have come across eco-trailers in Middlesbrough who do a shuttle for £6.5k plus vat, which seems reasonable, even when adding a few extras, compared to other trailers.

Has anyone got any experience of eco-trailers to confirm good or bad?

Alternatively, if anyone is selling a smaller enclosed trailer, I might well be interested.

Thanks in advance and happy new year to all 👍🏻👍🏻

I bought one of their trailers 2 years ago, volecity IQ think it’s called, for the money there’s no better trailers, think I paid 9k and the equivalent Bryan james would of been 14. If I was transporting cars for a living I’d pay the extra for a Bryan james or I for Williams but for your own car you’d be mad too. 4 year old ones are still fetching 8k so it’s a no brainier. BPW axles 3tonne axles, expensive alco steadying toe hitch and great jockey wheel. Although you don’t need their bigger trailer I would pay the extra and go with it because if you ever go to sell it there’s a bigger pool of people who want one that size, but either or to answer your question, their good trailers!!

Another vote for Eco. I’ve run one for 3 years transporting a Ferrari Mondial race car with no problems.

Thanks for the replies - very helpful.

Mulling over the bigger size as it takes a fair bit more space on the drive and it’s taken some convincing of the other half that it’s a good idea for even the smaller one. I can see what you say about future flexibility though.

Cheers. Andrew

PRG make a small covered trailer the ‘minisporter’.

I did look at the minisporter, but you have to winch in as the clam is quite tight, which is ok, but easier to drive on. If I found a used one I’d consider.

With the Caterham SV, I’d need the XW version which I recall new is about £1200 more than the XV for 30cm extra length. That seemed quite a lot for just being a fraction bigger. I did query it with PRG, but they never bothered to reply.

For a Caterham it's got to be a minisporter - they do come up second hand (XW a bit more rare). They are the best you can get for the size, and you can drive the car on no fuss.

I bought one new a few years back and only lost £500 on it when I sold it last year. Good investment.
