Buy or hire the A Transporter (A4) if...
One of the most common car trailers in Britain, bought by trade and private owners for moving road cars, project cars and small vans. The reason it sells is the spread of bed length and gross weight combinations, which lets you match the trailer to the tow car rather than the other way round.
