Transporter


maz77

Recommended Posts

2 cars, under 7.5 tons.

 

any1 selling one?

any recommendations or ones to avoid?

I should be OK driving that with my normal license shouldn't I?

 

 

That's an odd post....

 

 

If you want a transporter look in Autotrader and on PH and post a wanted ad.

 

I think it depends when you passed your test. The DVLA website should help you out.

Unusually I know the answer to this?

 

If you passed your test before 1991 you can hire/drive a 7.5 Tonne transporter on your normal license otherwise you can usually get a 3.5 Tonne transporter .

Note the 7.5 Tonners are limited to 55mph so be warned! (Engine limiter!)

 

Look on Fleabay if you want to buy one but they are about £140 per day for a 7.5 Tonner if you want to hire.

 

Hope this helps?

that is very helpful stan thanks alot.

to be honest 3.5 T can also do the job. I am looking to by one rather than hire cuz it would work out much cheaper for my needs.

The 3.5 Tonners are generally Transit based or VW transporter based - go for the VW version more likely to survive longer than 5 minutes! The one I used was a Mitsubishi 7.5 Tonne Beavertail. Mitsubishi- seem to be quite common and very good (fast - well up to 55 anyway!) :lol:

There is a company in London that hire the 3.5 Tonners out maybe they have second hand ones - look on google for 3.5 tonne car transporter- but its best to look for beavertail - thats the name of that type of rear platform ...ooh I'm a sad git! :blush:

there is nothing sad about it mate ;)

this would be a track car transporter. Ideally with a crew cab so I can keep tools and stuff in there :thumbs:

OOer - in that case - why not go for a cheaper option of a low level car trailer. Buy a cheap Crewcab pickup/van VW transporter Type 4 (get a 1.9TDI not the TD I have or the 2.5 TDI engine) fit a towbar and your away! :teeth:

 

Later on you can get those fancy covered trailers so you can put loads of 350Z-UK.COM stickers on the side of it! :lol:

:lol::lol::lol:

my idea was to get a 3.5 ton transporter and fabricate a cover for it as I will use it to do some work on the car as well as transport it.

 

with regards to the stickers I think I will need huuuuuuuuge ones. trouble is people will expect to see a pink Zed coming out of that transporter :lol::lol::lol:
