Purchase tax = NOT VAT

Sounds like an earth problem - very common on trailers.....

Looks very nice !

Hope it sells a lot in the UK and consider yourselves very lucky.

Holland from 1/1/2025 has decided that no longer there will be a difference between "commercial" and "passenger" vehicles.

This means both in purchase and road tax everybody will pay the high rates.

On a proper van, this can easily be € 20.000 more to buy and € 1.000 annually in road tax.

TúV gePrüfd tot 85 kgs...

False floor to hide it under ?

How about hiring a truck with a crane for the day........

We usu. put the Tara weight of a 20" ctr. on 2.200 kgs.

Width varies between 240 and 250 cm.,

What makes them awkward to transport on a flatbed trailer without "twistlocks" is securing them - you def. don't want them to move. Also, they don't like to be transported on their floors - they sit on their corners.. They tent to be a bit tail heavy - the doors are more metal.. Also, the police will want you to have mirrors that look rearwards alongside the container as required by law. We have used reverse camera's in the past but some LEA will not like that.

Have you got something to unload the thing ?

[serie's 88" closed hardtop sidepanels]

Seen / had some before.
Fit both the 88" aswell as the 110 5 door.
Unusual as most have at least the rear quarter windows.

[Cutting a galvanised chassis]

Having had chassis pulled over the years, it is quite impressive what can be done..

I think quite a few of us have been in the woods with a winch and straps and some interesting pulling to straighten things out.

More recent, a serious hydraulic ram was used to pull out a chassis a bit... 😳

 

[Recommendations for replacement bulkhead parts]

The Maer bulkheads, both LHD and RHD, are still not ready for sale it seems.....

Their chassis are a good fit though.
 

[Parabolic leafs lift]

Another TI Console user here...

Under the 88" for about 27 years now, with matching Koni shocks, and quite happy with them.

Pictures help a lot

Friends with hydraulic rams help, too

Stephan,
