its the same exact car here and in germany.

Yes I know....but the point is in Germany they spec it differently. May have to do with the tougher product liability risk here.

 

But over there (means Europe in general) people try to tow some astinishing rigs with tiny carsYouTube - Renault 5.

Another vote for a "low hauler" motorcycle trailer.

 

Mine is also a 7' x 14, but with a flat nose. I picked mine up used, so not as many choices.

 

It's a good size for a 7 type vehicle, it will fit either inside a normal garage or behind a fence, if the local HOA is a consideration.

 

Reasonably well made, weighs about 2200 lbs empty. With the Stalker inside it gets about 13-14 mpg with a 6 cylinder Trailblazer.

 

Plus it can be marketed to either a small car crowd or the motorcycle folks when time comes to sell it.

Those of us who have seen Norm B.'s trailer are throughly impressed.

"It is located in Knoxville TN." the drive to pickup would really not be worth it.

Evil,

 

I made a post on "what is your tow vehicle". My trailer is also shown on that post.

i didn't phrase that post correctly. that thread has a trailer in budget for Roman. As for Norm's trailer, i assume it will stay with the 7 forever, so i have nothing of it ever leaving Norm's ownership.

Roman,

 

The trailer was built by Dennis Brunton who also builds the Stalker and SuperStalker V6. Several of our Stalker owners have purchased one of them from him. I think they are all pretty happy with the product.

Here is my dream trailer. I have seen this trailer up close a few times and looks very well built. But it is not cheap.

Hmmm... $8200 with a $1200 "canopy delete" = $7000 ?!?!

Urge you to check out what Featherlite or Trailex sells as an all-alloy open trailer for WAY under 7 grand. You might make your own version of this for considerably less.

I tow with a '97 Subaru Outback 5 spd that has a 2000 lb tow rating. It's my wife's daily driver. To stay within the 2000 lb rating, I needed a very light trailer. I ended up with an aluminum trailer from Aluma Ltd. It weighs just under 500 lbs, the deck is 78x123 inches, and it has a 2200 lb gross capacity. So it won't be carrying any Miatas or MGs. But it hauls the Se7en very nicely. It wasn't cheap at $2200, but the steel trailers I looked at were $1500 and they were too heavy. So I spent a little more on the trailer, and avoided having to spend money on a bigger tow vehicle. I still have some work to do on ramp storage but overall I am very happy with it.
