Van to carry car?

antodeco

Hey folks,
Just been toying with an idea. I was thinking of storing the mini in the back of a van (rear door and side sliding door). Has anyone ever done this? I know I could just get a trailer, but Im thinking of storage and transport in one!

Thanks

not sure about using a van for storage and transport, but you might want to consider an enclosed car transport trailer, basiscally like a small caravan with a loading ramp and no interior, rally cars offten transported in these...

a bit big this one but you get the idea....

A big, boxy van like the Iveco Daily might do the trick. But you'd probably have to put some sort of ramps inside in order to drive the Mini over the wheel arches

Hmm, didint think of them. The ramp issue will be fine, as I can create a sliding ramp platform.

don't forget ...you need enough width to get out of the Mini as well

unless he get out through the sunroof.

I know! I may remove the windscreen! Nah, this is why I was looking for a side sliding door aswell
