gjslutz Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I have an Aluma aluminum enclosed / open trailer and VW TDI Sports Wagon to sell. My Birkin is sold and I will no longer need the trailer or TDI. It is an Alum 77" X 12' 2990 # GVW that I added an surge brake system to it with disk brakes. Total empty trailer weight is now 985 LBS with the removable top on. It tows very nice behind my little VW TDI Jetta Sports Wagon. It is 100% stable at very high speeds loaded with the Birkin on it. The enclosed top will go on or off in 1/2 to 3/4s of an hour. My TDI MPG will drop from about 37 MPG to around 25 MPG towing the car at high speed. It has been tested to 115 MPH loaded. I used the trailer to haul a couple canoes more than the Birkin. I need my hanger storage space now for another airplane. Look at my photos here. I'm looking for $7,000 or near offer. I have just added the 2010 VW Jetta TDI W/ 59,000 miles if someone wants the turnkey package. It has the Westfalia 2990 LB hitch installed. The hitch has been modified by welding an removable 2" square receiver below the ball out of the way. There is no reason to remove the receiver to use the ball. The 2" hitch receiver was added for my bicycle carrier, or future needs. The TDI if driven @ posted speeds will do 40 MPG. I'm thinking $26K for all. The TDI has new Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus tires 70,000 mile warranty on tread life. Price reduction on the trailer to: $6,000.

slngsht Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The trailer is simply awesome for a seven. I've seen it in person on a couple of occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyzMG Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 It's a nice little trailer for towing a Lotus. You might want to repost your pictures or link here. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjslutz Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Price of the trailer has been reduced to $6,000. I have need for the space in my hanger. It was built to fit my Birkin, and can be used with or W/O the enclosure. I friend used it haul his motorcycles a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
