cheers for the offer jon, i may just take you up on that. would your trailer take a bare shell? or does it need to be rolling to go on?

Bud if it is just a bare shell, hire yourself a transit/ldv etc luton van, a shell fits in no problem.

yeah i think thats the way im gonna do it. Was talking to me old man this morning as i was gonna use his freelander as a tow car, but we decided it'd be easier to use a van.

Cheers for the help dudes, and hopefully watch this space for my car to be reborn into a poo brown sleeper *happy*

Needs to be a luton definately, they are wide enough to fit a shell in as the box sits on the chassis, above the wheels of the van.

anyone know if a rolling shell will fit in a luton, or is it a bit too heavy?

luton vans are based on a 3.5ton gross van chassis, the van itself usually weighs between 1.5 and 2 tonnes, giving a payload of 1.5 tons worst case.

Unless you have a seriously fat bastard mini, you should be well inside the weight.

However, more of a concern for me would be (A) getting it in there in the first place
(B) stopping it rolling about, nothing in a luton strong enough to tie it to
© getting it out again at the other end

3 blokes can manhandle a bare shell with ease, but a rolling shell c/w subframes, heavy cast radius arms/front hubs all of a sudden becomes a lot heavier.
