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!
Don't forget the power steering and central locking Guy

it was actually Chris Smith with his Hawk that pioneered electric windows I think, he also had AC.And I believe Craig is working on electric windows now. ,,,,or maybe I dreamed that
And he did many thousands of miles across Europe in the car as well.

I take your point, Guy, but say I want to do the Western Isles of Scotland (which I am fond of doing). That's 9 hours & over 400 miles from me, of properly dull roads. Anglesey: 5 hours & 300 miles. Even LB towers is a 7 hour round trip from here (all these numbers are without taking into account any stops). I might occasionally also want to take my partner along with me &/or the dog (a Great Dane).
So.........see what I'm saying? Driving isn't an option for these kind of trips. That said, my car won't be no garage queen; I'll put plenty of miles under it.

I can see the logic there. A friend and I did a week in the Highlands with our (motor)bikes back in '96, but we borrowed a Discovery, hired a small box trailer, and chucked the bikes in there. Great move - did a day on the bikes, a day in the car, etc. Best of both worlds and saved me a month in hospital being straightened out after a week and the thick end of 2k miles on a Ducati 916....ouch, it hurts even thinking about how that'd have gone even now! And a Strat ain't the most cosseting of cars.... no, I reckon if you're gonna transport it, a covered trailer is the way to go. And when you're not using the car, it's covered up and out of sight as well.
2k on a 916. Yikes. Until v recently I had an SPS 916 (& still have a 998s FE). 2k in a whole year on either is a little daunting!
For the record, as I said I'm not after a trailer (I've an EV as a daily) so it's something along the lines of what Chris suggested - but wider....
Cheers,
Hedge
