Transporting a Stratos

[hedge]

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.

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!
