I bought a trailer from an eBay seller am marc in Corby
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Car-trail...1438.l2649
I would recommend this as being well made and up to the job. Ideal for something with a 2.5m wheelbase and the bascule mechanism is gas-ram assisted making it easy to operate. One disadvantage is the 14" wheels/tyres which made it sit sloping down to the drawbar, just off level, a little irritating.
Unfortunately I had to return it as the third of my cars, a three-wheel Pembleton was 3" too long for the bed. I was really upset by this as I had to drive all the way back to Corby to return it but there was no problem with the refund. Sound chap running a business importing from Poland and Italy.
He is trying to get another one for me which is 300mm longer in the bed which would be ideal.
I also looked at Ifor Williams CT 115 which is more expensive but also a good trailer. the disadvantage with it is the position of the axle, very much rear of the balance point which means putting a front engine car right at the rear end of a long trailer to get the balance point in the right place and avoid downward pressure on the towing hitch. All their publicity pics show cars at the rear end with spare tyres at the forward end. I've written to them asking it is possible to move the axle forward and am awaiting a reply. Hope this helps...
