thanks very much stuart for the help. yes issyguy the 1950's Gordon was so sleek and sexy all the 60's kids wanted one as a pedal car so they copied them - TRUE or BLUFF ?  ;D

I do like it, was Jeans a rough one in pieces only looking back through search option it seems as if was a wreck before it was restored

That's Gordon's Gordon and 30 years later still is.  Remains in the same fine original condition.
Now that is the kind of trailer you should have bought Richard.  Capable of carrying 3 cars at one time  ;D

Its now illegal to trail a vehicle fitted with larger wheels than the trailer that vehicle is on, unless the one side total of multiple axles of the said trailer have a combined contact surface area larger than said trailered vehicle single wheel diameter.

But back in the day a camper and trailer to be proud of.

Yes that's the picture that's a fair restoration project nice work still looks like a Triang pedal car I would like one(sad person that I am )


Big Al could you explain about wheel sizes as we and our friends, trailer tractors which have usually very large wheels on the back or front and both in some cases  as is the case with large County type tractors?

So does this mean it is illegal to transport a motorcycle on a conventional trailer!!!
