mole42 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Does anyone know where I can rent a car trailer, preferably close to Bristol? I need to transport Mabel to the bodyshop, she's on wheels but has no engine. Mrs. Google isn't helping me today! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mole42 Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 Unfortunately, they no longer do trailer hire. 😞 All the best, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 To extend the options, how about a towing dolly, the sort that supports the front wheels, or even a towing frame. The last is only legal if the car has 'broken down' but no engine....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mole42 Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Towing dolly is okay, I've used them before for long-distance work and the stripped car+dolly shouldn't exceed 750kg, but where to find one?
