madmatt01 107 #1 Posted June 24, 2016 So the new car trailer finally arrived around 6pm today (been waiting for it since sunday) and we set off at 7 on a 180 mile or so round trip to pick up these 2 westwoods and trailer. Bit nerve racking as we didn't even check the trailer over... but towed like a dream! The westwoods couldn't have fitted any better wedged right up to the sides! Only bought the stash for the trailer to go behind the horwool so the westwoods will be up for grabs! Probably some mower racing friends will jump on them I expect... Good evening all round! 4 Ian, Stormin, pmackellow and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madmatt01 107 #3 Posted June 25, 2016 Iv got to give them a wash and charge the batterys, get them running and weigh up the options. I don't have a use for them really although I do quite like the one without the lights! Did try giving one to my brother to potter about on at shows but he didn't seem fussed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Fife Plooman 632 #9 Posted June 25, 2016 Hi Matt I like the Westwoods I have one query is your trailer unbraked It looks like one that a friend took as part payment for a debt it is made in China and is made for transporting a jet ski and is only made to carry 6 Cwt Hope I am wrong George S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madmatt01 107 #10 Posted June 25, 2016 Trailer in unbraked. I can only tow unbaked upto 750kg. The trailer bed is 5x8 with an extra foot at the front. Chap I got it off said he had owned it for 10 years. Older chap near Oxford. He has used it for alsorts, transporting light air craft parts e.t.c I think it was either originally made or was just used for a long time as a racing hover craft trailer. Appeared to handle the weight off the westwoods all the way home No badges on it e.t.c but it definately isn't a home built jobby. Under the ply floor that the previous owner put on its a full mesh floor same as the loading ramp Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WestwoodGazelle 103 #12 Posted June 26, 2016 Nice pair of Westwoods there! They look in decent shape, if I had the space I'd make you an offer but either ways hope they go to a good home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
