Probably some typos in there--the width of the TR4 is actually 4' 
10.25".  The actual length is 12' 11', so Moss is pretty close there.


What is probably more of concern with a small trailer is how the car 
balances on the trailer, and if it can be fitted on the trailer without 
the overhangs becoming a problem, so the problem is not so much one of 
overall length, but wheelbase.  The TR4 wheelbase is 7' 4-1/4", so it 
should easily be accommodated by a 9-foot trailer.  The larger question 
is balance and where the overhang can best be managed.


Cheers.
