I fitted my gun buggy pretty neatly in a 12x6 trailer and I dare say an 86 wouldn't be that much different. I had to climb out over the back though!

The height of the hardtop of my '55 86" is the same as your truck cab at 1.98m. Same dimensions all around.

I shall now use my Iphone to calculate if it will fit in the available trailer.Now theres AN APP :)

[Defender Mike]

Hmmmm these little series 1's are not that little

5.85 ft wide
11.68 ft long
6.5 ft high

my new one is

5.85 ft wide
13.9 ft long
6.5 ft high

hmmmmm they havn't changed that much have they.:) when your on a good thing stick to it:D.

This may be a mm or 2 out as the wife was holding the smart end of the tape and it's cold ,windy and raining here in Perth tonight. I would like to say she contributed uncomplaining but that would be a big porky pie.

It means towing a trailer both ways across the Nullabour not my favorite trip but this will test the 90's diffs and head gasket and all the other bits everyone seems to worry about.

Is it silly to think you could buy a car trailer there and bring it back and sell it for same or close to same back here?

[andy_d110]

Going off the pics of your new "Bluey", it is an 88". It has the horn button on the column, pork pie style tail lights, longer front guards with the bolt further away from the wheel arch...

Did you base your measurements off an 86"? 1956 was the change over year from 86" to 88" & 107" to 109".

Mike:)

you would get it onto a 10x6 tandem.

or 12x6 would be more comfortable with less overhang.

Other wise your onto the car trailers which you can get a new one for approx $2.5k

A word of caution here. Mike texted me asking if it would fit in a 10 x 6 furniture trailer. There can be no overhang with a furniture trailer as it has full height sides - and hence the request for the vehicle height as well. Of course many furniture trailers are also single axle and/or don't have the weight capacity of carrying a car - even a smallish Landy.

I see the odd request for borrowing a car trailer amongst us - I've posted them up myself before and had to hire a car trailer three times now for Landy purchases. Maybe we need an "AULROWA car trailer"?:cool: Go on Mike - buy one:p

My landrover, ktm & Glasflugel addiction has kept me poor. :(I wont be buying a trailer for this trip but we should look at throwing a few hundred in each to get one. Would pay for itself only problem where to store it need some one with a big block near the freeway hmmmmm who do i know with that. There is a guy renting one privately on Gumtree for around $75 a day local Perth hire but for a trip to SA he wanted more than U -haul and the others. I wonder if the WA landy club has one.

May be of some use to you I have towed S1's from 80" to 109" behind a TD5for many 100s of Ks you will hardly know it is there except for the Fuel bill.
Get as the lightest care trailer you can and lower the windscreen if you can. On the flat you will have no trouble holding 5th at 100Km/h.
Just a note 86" and 88" are exactly the same overall dimensions.
