sparkey Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 I need a trailer to carry an Elan + 2 (approx 13ft total length I think) in the North of England for a day. Anyone know of any good source of such a trailer for rent, or would be willing to loan/rent me thiers for a day? (I don't think a minno would be up to it.) Thanks Sparkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynicolson Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Sparkey, not sure where you're based, I've hired from: Richard Blake, 40 Winkfield Rd, Windsor Tel; 01753 868038... advantage here is unlike the likes of Indespension he has ratchet straps. His is a large 4 wheeler suitable for a +2, think he charges c. £45 per 24 hours. Tricks Y57 CDS "Mutley" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Plato Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 Sparkey - try the yellow pages , there should be a few companies listed in there local to you . I think £30-45 is the going rate for 24hrs / weekend hire dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Russell Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 Tockwith Trailer Hire in, would you believe, Tockwith near York, have Brian James car trailers for hire....3 I believe available. Can't remember the rates but very reasonable. Not sure where abouts in the North of England you are though.......Number not to hand but try Directory enquiries.

sparkey Posted October 5, 2001 Author Share Posted October 5, 2001 Andrew, I'm in Whaley Bridge, which is a village between Stockport and Buxton (great driving roads around here) Where are you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny. Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 Sparkey, Seems to be a lot of 7's in that neck of woods......relations of mine live in Buxton and I always see a different 7 every time I visit. I also know a guy at Pot Shrigley who has one. Kenny HPC PS Did you go to the show at Capesthorne in May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkey Posted October 5, 2001 Author Share Posted October 5, 2001 Kenny, yes on summer weekends the roads around Buxton are full of 7s and most other types of sportscar. I have a W*******d, and a friend in Whaley Bridge has another one, and we were both at Capesthorne in May. (My W*******d is yellow, my friends is red with an aluminium monstrosity on the bonnet to cover a very tall fiat/lancia twin cam engine). There is a Caterham somewhere in the village as well, but usually when I see it and wave I'm in my company car and the poor guy has no idea why I'm waving at him !

Andrew Russell Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 Sparkey Can't believe that you cannot find anyone in the Manchester area to hire a trailer from! Seems that you will be making a few too many journeys over the Pennines...... I know Whaley Bridge very well, my brother lives in New Mills, although I've never taken the Seven over to see him. I am originally from Merseyside and used to do road rallies in the 70's around Derbyshire etc. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
