Going to be doing the academy next year and looking at trailers. Looks like the BJ Minno is the preferred choice, but they seem to be very strong money right now used. Can't seem to figure out the new equivalent or the merits of buying new vs used. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

C4 Blue in 3.3m load bed is about the nearest equivalent to the Minno. Also worth looking at the PRG Minisport.

The Ifor Williams Car Transporter CT136 looks decent too. I like how the tyre rack is mounted low down. No idea how good they are in practice, but I've been eyeing up trailers recently and it's one that caught my eye along with the ones posted above.

I have been looking into the same...
Do you want covered or uncovered?
If you want covered the two options are PRG Minisporter or BJames A4 with a GT covers frame.
Scott at GT Covers can supply the trailer and the cover, or PM me if you have any other questions, as I have done a fair bit of research already!

I've been looking at this too. The BJ minno seems over priced 2nd hand to me especially when the PRG mini sport can be had brand new for c£1500 and looks basically the same.

I have no actual experience of trailers but I do know my 1 owner from new, low mileage top spec tow car only cost me £1.1k so I don't plan on spending MORE than that on a rusty old trailer...

Realistically I'm now looking at hiring a trailer at c£35 a day as it saves me hassle on maintenance and storage.
