ww2rupert Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hello Sorry if this has been repeated on here before, but I've recently acquired a vintage trailer to tow behind my Austin staff car, it looks very much like a British Airborne trailer (although it isn't as it's made of wood!) But I was wondering the legality of towing it behind my vintage car without the steel wheel arches fitted? It looks better without them fitted! I've often seen guys towing the 10cwt trailer's behind thier Jeeps without the arches as that's how they were made and wondered how they got on?

MatchFuzee Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 If you are using you trailer on the road it appears from paragraph (2) that you need them:- http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1986/1078/regulation/63/made You could have mudguards that are easy to fit and remove, when you are at a show no mudguards but fitted for road use.

Tony B Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Often the mud gaurds on trailers of this age were just bent flat sheet. Is the axle an ex car one? That also seems to be quite common, I suspect many such trailers were knock up from whats about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
