[Wanted] Car trailer
My son looking for a car trailer as taking one of his cars to Germany for storage/working on.
Ideally twin axle, but anything suitable for car weighing 1320kg, 4.62m long x 1.7m wide x 1.42m high (it's an e28 shark-nose 5 series Beemer).
Cash waiting - been messed about too many times by sellers 'changing the rules' on agreeing to pay/viewing and in at least one case the trailer he went to pick up wasn't the one being advertised

Also be really careful in checking chassis numbers etc as so many trailers up for sale are nicked ones.

yep. I think that was the case of the one he turned up to 'buy' and a different one was wheeled out....
I think he's actually found one in stock locally, a motor factor/breaker brings in four at a time regularly (drives over, hitches one up and loads 3 others on top) made in Poland! Must be cheap over there to make that viable....

He's bought a brand new trailer, came in from Poland (see above). Looks an excellent bit of kit and same price as some (not great) 2nd hand trailers

His is branded as 'Jupiter' but like all the Chinese stuff you get on Amazon the exact same parts have multiple brand names.
He said it is a great bit of kit, well made and for the cost it's, in theory, no issues/reliable over the 2nd hand stuff he was looking at and this has a hand winch also many of the 2nd hand one's didn't have
