I used my large towing dolly which uses normal 14" car wheels to take my Elise down to London for a few days with the crew before doing Frolic a couple of years ago. (It's not one of the small 8" type wheeled ones the AA / RAC use.)

I still have it as I do use it from time to time so you are welcome to borrow it if you want....

Are you going to do a straight swap or are you going to do anything to the new lump? Baffled sum, upgraded hg or oil ladder?

Haven't really thought that far ahead yet tbh and don't have the engine yet either! :lol:

Probably just a straight swap though.

Cheers for the offer Ron! Will speak to my partner in crime and see what the plan is!

Probably leave the HG but do the belts etc.. Engine has an oil cooler and PRT on it as standard I think as well?

Trailer sorted yet?
