Hi Everyone, Having recently sold a PRG mini sporter enclosed trailer I am now looking at a larger replacement. Originally I was looking at a Brian James Race Sport which start at £6,750+vat I was originally choosing Brian James for the reputation and quality. http://www.brianjames.co.uk/range/range_details.aspx?id=1&rid=46 http://www.eco-trailer.co.uk/trailer/velocity-enclosed-car-trailer/ Having stumbled across the Eco trailers they look like fantastic value for money they are offering a new velocity RS for £5800+vat and that comes with a tilt bed and electric winch as standard amongst other features which are extras on the Brian James and PRG and would add up to a few grand on to of the figure above on the Brian James whites already a grand more before any extras. Also I think the eco trailer looks nicer and the wheels are under the shell so when I put a caravan mover on it the movers will be protected from the elements. This also means that there is more usable width inside the eco trailer in comparison but they have a similar external width still as the Brian James has the wheels outside of the shell (obviously I know the wheels that are in the shell on the eco aren't necessarily gaining useable space because they will be boxed in but above that you gain a fair amount of space to get around the car etc) I haven't forgotten about the PRG too the trailer I had from them was well made and I liked it. Their comparative trailer would be a Trac Sporter at £6995+vat http://www.prgtrailers.co.uk/covered-trailers/tracsporter.php I should add that Simon from Eco trailers told me on the phone that since the 2014 model they have upgraded the doors and hardware and the newer model is apparently much better? Although I do want to go for the Eco mainly because of the price my main concern is of the quality of the eco trailer is it cheap for a reason or is it just a bargain? I really would like to save some money if possible but I definitely don't want to waste money on a crap, poorly built trailer. Does anyone own one or know someone who does? I'd love some feedback on the Eco trailer if possible please? If I had time I would travel up to their factory to see one but I'm in Cornwall and it's a 6 hour 40 minute drive each way according to google? If there was anyone based in the south west who didn't mind me looking at theirs that would be great too. Any opinions or experiences shared would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance Mitch.

I am selling my high specification road going Westfield Megabusa as I have recently put a deposit on a different 300bhp Westfield with a ridiculous spec which I just couldn't resist. I will be extremely sad to see the Busa go as it is such an amazing car. I have owned it for the last 10 months since buying it from Greg Barton. Greg owned the car for 2 years and in the first year he stripped and rebuild it with lots new parts ready to compete in and then competed in around 5 hillclimbs the following year, he said that it ran reliability all year. Since I have owned the car I have competed in about 6 hillclimbs and had great fun doing plenty of road driving on the weekends. The car had never missed a beat. The engine is incredible, a standard Busa engine produces 175bhp and this one is running 185bhp with out any engine mods (dyno print out to prove) When I first got the car I had it serviced with new spark plugs also by Pete at Bike Tech in Padtsow and at the end of season I had the engine taken out by David at Richards Bros of Redruth and sent to Karl at extreme engines to check the engine over. The reason for doing this is because I wanted Karl to check the engine over as I was then planning on keeping the car and depending on what Kark said I was considering taking it up to 1400cc Karl said a really common problem with the Busa engine is that the 2nd and 6th gear dogs are not undercut and he replaces them all the time but never puts back in the same standard Hayabusa 2nd & 6th gears as he has seen them slip again in a little as 200 miles, so I decided that would be a better area to spend some money as Karl said that after inspecting the engine it was in great condition (Karl would be happy to verify this I'm sure) and power was never an issue anyway. He also blanked off the exhaust gas recirculation as its a waste of time having it on there. David Richards of Richards Bros who removed the engine bled the whole system dry and cleaned it thoroughly, put in new oil, changed the oil filter and changed the clutch fluid. Richards Bros got the Busa on the rolling road to run through the gears and check they were all working nicely which they were, whilst on the rollers David did a power run where the car produced 185bhp. The car is running so sweet since then, its amazing. The work carried out by Extreme engines and Richards Bros came to £1500. It has also just had a new 12 months MOT which it sailed through. I also had all of the rear 6 rose joints upgraded to the NMB military grade ones by Toniq Sports Cars as I was told they are indestructible and didn't think much of the Westfield ones. After that I had a Geo set up by Hatton Motorsport. The car has also literally just had 4 brand new road legal R888's fitted (SG compound) they've done about 20 miles. I have loads of documentation/receipts for the car, literally every receipt since birth including the stuff I have listed above. 2007 Westfield Megabusa SEIW 5-6k miles done since built Standard 1300cc Hayabusa engine (new oil, filter, plugs, coils this year) dyno print out done this year at with strong 185bhp Power commander 3r Westfield dry sump (new belt and tensioner fitted this year) Carbon air box Westfield reverse box Westfield alloy hubs all round Ap racing mc, wilwood 4pots at front 265mm discs(new this year), Sierra rear calipers with mintex 1144 pads Full caged cage with FIA padding Ab performance gearchange paddles using rods and a flatshifter pro for clutchless up and down shifts (new this year) V8 front end, FW rear, with grp diffuser Freelander 3.21 Quaife LSD Westfield Wide track front end Suspension all nylon bushed Protech shocks all round built/tested by Procomp (new this year) Playskool ARBs front/rear Geometry and corner weights been done this year and last have the setup sheets Carbon double bubble aeroscreen Carbon tunnel top Carbon dash Carbon pedal cover Carbon csr cycle wings Carbon sill protectors Carbon moulded rear arch protectors Carbon winglets Caterham style front indicators Bare Grp/carbon seats 2" 4 point willams passenger harness 3" 6 point lightweight alloy willams Silverstone drivers harness Brand new Dash2 complete with DL1 logger fitted this year Dash uses full set of savage switches, with push button indicators using backoff module 7"x13" 3 piece image wheels with basically new Soft R888 tyres (205/60/13 all round) Carbon silencer new this year (also included standard Westfield stainless version with cat for MOT's) Omp 300mm suede steering wheel on extended and quick release steering column Lithium battery FIA cut off switch on dash Softbits Tonneau cover (new this year) Also flared carbon fibre sides, not yet fitted are available I store the car in a PRG mini sporter race shuttle which is also for sale as I am moving to a larger trailer. As I store the the car in the trailer the buyer of the Busa will have first refusal on the trailer but if they don't want it then I will happily sell to anyone who is interested in it. The trailer is fitted with an electric winch and long lead remote. It is about 8 months old and like new! I wouldn't take less than £15,000 for the Busa and £3,600 for the trailer. I'm not one for haggling so I have given my bottom line now to save everyone the agro. I paid £17,000 for the Busa and I have spent a few grand on it since buying it. The trailer was £6,300 about 8 months ago so that's a huge saving for someone on what is pretty much a brand new trailer (receipt/invoice available) I'll chuck in the Tonneau cover, the Carbon fibre flared sides and a spare set of 4 used A048's for free for the buyer of the car. If you are interested or have any questions please contact Mitch on; 07896071413 or precisionwoodwork@hotmail.co.uk I have spent the last 2 hours trying to copy the photos of the Megabusa from photo bucket but I can't seem to do it for some reason? Every time I try and copy the IMG code it won't copy it then pastes a sentence copied previously. I am on apple mac if anyone has any advice please? In the mean time I can email pics to anyone who is interested. Thanks for looking. Link to PGR website for mini sporter dimensions etc; http://www.prgtrailers.co.uk/covered-trailers/minisporter.php
