graemesmith Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Got a 270 SV kit arriving at the end of January and am looking at trailers. Ideally I'd like to put the trailer in the garage with the Caterham on it - once its built of course.The only dimensions I can find online state a width for the SV of 1685mm. Can anyone confirm that this is the max width measured from the edge of the mudguards?The only trailers that I can source that will fit past the garage doors have bed widths of 1680mm. I'm getting the 15inch wheels so I'm hoping the distance between the outside edges of the wheels is less than 1680mm.I could wait until I build it and then measure it myself but then I can't buy a trailer until its nearly finished and the wife might have started to object to the large amounts of cash disappearing from the bank account by then!

graemesmith Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll need the bigger trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJG Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Have you looked at trailers with the wheels under the bed, Brian Jamess TT Minor etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graemesmith Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 In the end I went form an Ifor Williams CT136HD. Totally over the top for a Caterham but it fitted in the converted vegetable patch and with the addition of the centre plates I can use it for all sorts of things as well as the 7.Already had 700kg of Slabs and 900kg of topsoil on it. Great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edzup Ezzer Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Graeme, "Loans, just outside Troon" - is that where you live or how you're paying for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
