    Default Rare Brian James folding front car trailer

    Selling my Brian James Clubman Micro trailer, suitable for cars of Nova size (Used to transport my rally Nova) and similar, will (just) take a Corsa C.

    Very rare and clever model designed to easily fit in a single garage due to it not having a fixed A-frame front but instead has a fold up front for easy storage.

    Braked, Galvanised trailer with ramps, corner steadies, spare wheel, fold down drivers side mudguard to get in and out, jockey wheel and winch. Will also come with a bag with 4 ratchet straps so you can use it immediately. All lights working and has a number plate holder built in. All tyres perfect, some small age related marks and light rust from storage on the non galvanised parts like jockey arm but easily tidied.

    Bought brand new from Honeyfield Trailers of Bristol

    Only the 1 picture at the moment, will take some proper ones at the weekend and get the full measurements too.

    £1000 o.n.o.

    Collect from Bristol (Can be delivered for cost of fuel)

    Thanks Colin..

    Right, bear with me peeps, I have been to the unit and dug it out, given it a clean and taken a chunk of pics, just uploading now and then will post then.

    Main tyres.



    Stains and marks on the runners which should come off with some decent cleaner.



    Genuine Brian James extension plates.


    Rusty bits, all surface and could easily be tidied up is on the Jockey, back of the spare wheel and a few spots on the main wheels, nothing serious.


    Everything works as it should but I will mention that it has been sat for 6 months, I put the handbrake on and the brakes stayed on, a quick wiggle and they came off, if anything I would say the cables were a bit sticky but they are cheap to replace if you really wanted to. Bearings are quiet and don't get hot and it tows very well, I just did 40 miles with it tonight moving it closer to home.

    The only pictures I have of it with a car on it are a Corsa C which was a tight fit but did go on and you'll see that with the extension plates there was plenty on front to back room. The Nova rally car fitted on much better if honest.



    Weights and approx dimensions..

    Unladen weight 300kg
    Max Gross weight 1300kg
    Max Load 1000kg


    Load area - 122 Inches Long x 65 Inches wide
    Overall size with frame down - 174 Inches Long x 84 Inches wide
    Length with frame up - 132 Inches Long
