Just bought a 620R and now need a trailer.

I've been away from Caterhams for years, BJ and PRG used to do things like Minnos but I've no idea what the better ones are these days.

Need a tyre rack and storage for jerry cans.

In two minds - would like to know what the covered vs open options are. My car currently doesn't have a cockpit cover.

Any advice gratefully received thanks!

I'd still approach Woodford, Brian James, etc and see what their current offerings are like.

PS do you think a 620R will be quicker than the 991 GT2 RS?!

Thanks, will give them a call.

I'll let you know if it is faster than the 2RS in about a month! smile

I use a PRG Minisporter XW for my 620R.
I wanted a fiberglass covered trailer and the choice was basically between an BJ and the PRG. I spent a while looking at second hand ones but after a few scams on ebay I decided it was worth the extra to get a new one as they seem to hold their value quite well.

The Minisporter is supposed to take an SV sized Caterham but I find it quite snug with my S3 sized car. Only slight annoyance is that the rear exit exhaust link pipe can foul on the right loading ramp when it is in it's storage position uder the car, so you have to load the car as far over to the right as possible. I keep meaning to grind off some of the edge of the ramp to give some more clearance.

With the jerry can holders and tyre rack fitted there is very limited space to get the front wheel securing straps in place and I'm still working on a good solution.

Thanks Jim, great reply.

Partly based on that I just picked up a PRG but with the vinyl cover, from GT race & trailers who make the covers.

As you say, very snug fit!!
