Brad, I had my trailer custom made to my specs and it's got a 66"
width between fenders and is 12' long. I think that's about the
right size for TR sized cars. I've got a friend here with a 5' wide
trailer and it's a little tight. I normally haul my TR4 on mine, but I've
had TR3s and a Healey 3000 with no problems. I also only have a
single axle on it (with brakes, of course) and it tows just fine and
tracks great either empty or loaded. As I recall, it cost about $1100,
including spare tire, jack, etc.
I just read someone's response which mentioned weight... mine
came in at 800 pounds. I weighed the complete rig (trailer and TR4)
once and the total was 3,100, slightly under my van's limit of 3,500.
G'luck...
Don Marshall
