Whoops have I gonna cost you guy's money  I do tend to surf EBay a per times a day..

You could have borrowed mine but I need it sat & I'm away at the haynes show sunday. Also it's the dodington show this weekend so taik about bad timing. 
How far you got to go? Is it local? if so I could do it one eve but they never are local.
There is also a weight limit on mine up to 750kg as it's a specialist kitcar trailer, only designed for light weight kits.
sorry if this aint much help?

I recon you are 

[Bulldog Bri]

The car is in Cirencester so not to far. It's also only a 1300 Bulldog so lighter than mine and that is around 780kg. Hopefully we would need it from early Sunday (around 9:30ish) and be back mid afternoon.

What time are you off Sunday morning?

[Lucky Ed]

You're welcome to borrow mine if you like. It's a bit of a beast it's a 16ft tilt bed and you'll need a med/large car to pull it with.

I'm just near Pucklechurch - let me know if it's of any use and I'll PM you my number

[Bulldog Bri]

Thanks Ed. Would a 1.9DTI Scenic be enough to pull it?

[Lucky Ed]

Might just about - you're welcome to come and try it if you like, I'll PM you my number.

[YellaBelly]

I can vouch for that trailer Bri. Ed loaned it to me for the re-test and it tows really well.

Not sure what sort of pulling power your motor has but most largish diesels should have a reasonable bit.

Nah, not really. Annas been wanting her own since she saw mine and we to look at Ebay to much, just you beat us to seeing that one. 

[Moleman]

I was planing on leaving early but could drop it off sat eve if you got somewhere to store it until monday eve.
The weight is close but should be ok. I could even help you pick it up monday eve but if you think its easyier to borrow Ed''s then no probs. you might be better off with I braked trailer with the Scenic.

I got a two wheel towing dolly if that's any help?

[Bulldog Bri]

Thanks everyone, I've decided to take Lucky Ed up with his trailer to go get 'The Pup'

Forum power rules 

[YellaBelly]

And if Brian has done his sums, Scenic power should too  

[Lucky Ed]

Could be a case of the tail wagging the dog

[YellaBelly]

Let's hope not!

[Moleman]

How did it go? Do you have the new pup now? 

[Bulldog Bri]

THe day went very well. We picked up the trailer from Ed's then trundled up to Cirencester, found the place easily. Had a good look around the car and it was as described, so we loaded it up paid and brought it home.

The bodywork is a little faded and only a few cracks in the gel coat but as we are going to spray it no prob's. I found the throtle and choke cables so they were easy to put back, worked out there was a secret ignition switch  the carb was full of muck so got Anna to clean that out and with the exhust downpipe refitted and a set of jump leads over to the battery we gave it a try. Eventually she fired up and is now running fairly sweetly though a bit smokie. All in all, very happy and it should make a great car for Anna. She even got underthe front of the car to replace the badge off the front of the car with a new Pilgrim sticker.




See! 



thanks again Ed, Locost next.. 

['The Gaffer']

Well done both of you. Nice to see you getting your hands dirty already Anna

[Moleman]

Cool.     Sorry I couldn't be any help with my trailer.    glad you got it sorted. 

[Bulldog Bri]

Anna has now joined the club, just waiting for approval from above 

[fullpint]

Look forward to seeing the pair of you next time I make it to a meet 

[YellaBelly]

Brian, I've decided that you have got far too much cash! 2 Bulldogs, a Locost and who knows what next??

Never mind collecting Pilgrims, get that Locost on the road chap

[Pilgrim Anna]

Heres my new car
