[Wanted] Car trailer (hire.buy.trade for use of) Fife
My usual contacts have failed me...
I have to pick my TR6 restoration project up from my mate (and D3 forum member).
I cant find a trailer hire company locally.. does any one know of one locally or can anyone lend (happy to pay for use, reciprocate the favor by lending you the use of my workshop and 2 post ramp etc.. or make a donation to a charity or WHY)
As the car is 'down south' i would need it for 3 days in total...
Many Thanks
Mike - I'm on the case... I'm sure your Dad will be pleased... 1 TR6 Rusting away quietly

A place in Dunfermline does it too
I have found it's cheaper to have them recovered professionally, than it is to hire a trailer, fuel costs etc. May be worth looking intoMy D3 Build Thread

DM - You could be right... but I'm heading down for MikyB's Big Birthday bash... so thought i would kill 2 birds with one stone...
I'm thinking it might be cheaper just to buy one and sell it the next week..!! Unless an Local LR experts want me to contract for them ...
SO if anyone has one for sale please give me a shout..
Its a pity the TR wont fit on my Ifor tipper... but its just not big enough alas...1 TR6 Rusting away quietly

This is in Glasgow rather than Fife but he has 3 flat bed trailers.
I rented one last week & it was great....

Can't release my trailer, but this fine man will pick up on his way home from the south rather than just come home with dead loads for reasonable prices.
