    I am considering transporting a complete but non running project that has been lying up in Clare for over a decade. Dose anyone know where to hire a trailer for the job or know of someone with a rescue truck that may be traveling back on the Ennis to Dublin route with an empty load? What should I expect to pay to have it brought up?.

    Cheers.

    if it's been lying up outdoors in a coastal county for 10 years it'd be more advisable to bring a dustpan and brush instead of a trailer ;)

    seriously, you can hire trailers from the hireshops for under €100 for a weekend.Shop around :)

    It was a Swiss army radio van, interior very basic, no head cloth, has jail bars, sealed rear bulkhead to hold generator.
