Transporting two minis

[billycooper]

I’d like to use both my cars this year, one for me and one for Nick, how I’m I gonna transport both cars with one driver ! any sensible ideas chaps ?

Low loader (or van) and trailer

We just need to sort the rental charge then Graeme !, only 2 events ! Shelsley and Harewood !

Can be paid in beer or anything else you may require!

[billycooper]

Seriously if anyone can rent me or otherwise, it’s only for two events next year

I have a trailer

you would need a discovery or similar to legally tow it though. Get work to buy it.

this looks good although you would need a heavy tow car

[billycooper]

I think that would be an excellent long term solution, but I really only need it for a couple of events this year, think my lads thinking something different for next year

The van and trailer option is a good one Murph specially long term if you are only taking 1 you dont need to mess around with a trailer

And you can sleep in the van once the cars out.

I would be interested to know how you get the mini into the van.
I have a Renault Master with 1300mms between the rear arches and can only fit a classic Fiat 500 into it on pallets to get the body to clear the top of the arches. The Mini seems around 20mms too wide in the track and body width.
I like the look of the ramps too. What make are they?
Thanks for any help.

[GraemeC]

The van’s wheel tubs were modified to get just enough clearance between them. The ramps are self-built, not bought.

[davidscothorn]

Thanks. Could you kindly post a photo showing the back?
I presume you winch it in?

[GraemeC]

No more photos I’m afraid David - it was a friends van and it has now gone.
The Minis were driven in - well the one shown was driven, his rally car was reversed in so you could open the door enough to squeeze out.

Thanks. I get it. With more width to play with, it was loaded hard over to one side.
