    Default M416? You guys would know better than a limey! :D

    I'm quite tempted by this trailer. It's about 10 miles away from me and £600 (around $950). We don't see too many over this side of the pond. Are they worth that sort of money?:

    "WW2 Jeep Trailer"



    But then there's this one, which is closer and only £395 ($626) : Arrow Trailer


    I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks in advance!

    I paid $1,000 US here in the states so thats no a bad deal. I think thats an m100 though. Round fenders. I Might be wrong though so someone correct me.

    Appears to be a French variant of the Bantam T3. Very common 1/4 ton trailer during WWII. Very cool example there, not common here in the U.S. that's for sure!

    That top itself here in the states is rare. I have seen the tops like that on a M101a2 3/4 ton trailer go for double that price here in the states about a month ago. I say try to talk him
    down as low as you can and grab that baby..

    Those Arrow trailers are massive, a lot bigger than my Sankey,

    That one is an M101A1 3/4 ton trailer. I have one, hell built for stout. Weighs ~1250lbs. The bed is 8' long, 65" wide, with about 45.5" between the wheel wells.

    Likewise, I paid $800 for my M416 which is similar to a Sankey.
