    As I am planning to track the 360 NGT I am sourcing another way of transport. Currently I have an open flat bed trailer, but when driving this the attention is more than overwelming....Of course the Brian James trailers (SR5 wide (more than 2 meters width!)) could be an option but with tyres, fuel and spares the total weight gets critical. Any other options? Also when somebody has a nice one for sale I am interested.

    Ciao

    you can get a 24 foot v-nose from cargo craft that will not set you back a ton of money, and can featured up any way you want, and have all the room you need, and be about 7000--8000 lbs loaded..most trucks can handle that pretty easily

    Make sure the axles are rated for 5k and not 3500lbs. Many come with the latter.

    Time to step up...

    Not too, too, expensive. But, you're going to need a semi to haul it. And a crew to set up the canopy, load and unload and so on.

    Where abouts in Europe is it based?

    I looked into this in the UK and found a single vehicle commercial transporter could deliver my car, spare wheels. air jacks/tank to a circuit and return it after a track day to storage for the same cost of renting trailer and collecting car myself.

    You will need a proper car transporter with hydrolic loading ramp. The N-GT is too wide and WAY too low to get it on any trailer that I have seen. You will also need a lot of space for all the gear required to run it properly.
    It will end in tears if you try anything else in my experience.

    These things are cheap to buy; but very expensive to run.

    Thank you all for the info. I narrowed down the options (and my wife got a nice Land Rover...)
    So for now I am sourcing a Brian James Motor Shuttle, with 3 axes, they are suitable for low and wide cars. Anyone knows one for sale in W-Europe? Delivery time is about 6 weeks when bought new.....

    just came across this one. In fact the trailer is a woodford, Bratke is the german dealer. Woodford and Brian James are in the same city in the UK. Both BJ and Woodford have wide trailers, the sizes of both versions are almost identical.

    Woodford now has a dutch dealer too, Trailer Trading.
    the Woodford is the better choice imho considering price.
    Only the tyre-rack from BJ is better build, but will fit a Woodford without problem, friend of mine has done that.

    just to inform you.
