Transporting a Stratos

Hi all,

I'd like to get something to put the Stratos in, to take across the UK & (maybe) Europe. Trips up to Scotland/ Wales, when it needs servicing etc. Such journeys would be all the more enjoyable - & reduce miles on the car - were I to have something to sling it in..

Trailering isn't an option (I've an EV). I was wondering if anyone used a low loader of some sort, like one of those Vauxhall/ Fiat/ Peugeot things you see at track days etc. I don't particularly want to spend stupid amounts of wedge on it - given that it's going to sit there for large amounts of time doing nothing - but it would be dead useful to have.

Any thoughts, anyone?

Thanks in advance,
Hedge

When I was building mine and transporting it around for paint, rolling road sessions etc. I Used to rent one of these small transporters it was great. Dead easy to load the car, easy to drive and made life much easier than towing.

The guy I used got rid of his and I did contemplate buying one and renting it out but all a bit complex. If I had the space and needed a transport solution I'd have one over a trailer any day.

As with everything vehicle related, prices seem high at the minute if you want one that looks like it won't fall apart.

This kind of thing Andrew?:
Renault transporter

Cool! Like that

Possibly, Chris, though the Stratos is (I think) a wee bit wider than the car going on the ramps in the pic (a Westie/ Crate/ MK Indy thing), so I'm not sure if it'll fit.

Maybe I'll give LB a call...

Thank you.

What's the point of trailering a car that puts a huge smile on your face when you drive it? Okay, if you're contemplating the type of use that might result in damage then getting it home post prang means a transporter is useful but didn't we build these cars to be driven? It's not like they're totally impractical like a GT40, some of you even have aircon I believe!
