It's got an inside measurement at just over 10ft. The mini dimensions were 10ft and 1/4 inch.

By my measurements it should fit, with the doors shut.

maybe a round nose at a squeeze, but you need ramps over the arches and then something to pull the car in which takes up room at the front of the trailer. I looked into using an old BT van as a car transporter and it was just too short, needed an extra foot to be ideal especially if you wanted to put a clubby, estate, van or pickup into it.

It was a round nose I had planned to use in it. Also to mount the winch in the old gas box at the front bolted to the chassis.

Seemed just the perfect size to me.

Well the obvious solution would be to extend the front wall to be in line with the curve of the roof... the un-obvious problem is that thing would be hellishly tongue heavy with a mini... or anything in there for that matter, I am guessing the cab of this was of a short nose van style which makes the percent of the box in front of the wheels quite a bit.

All that being said, they sell well as mobile workshops, which is the second reason why I dimissed the unit as viable... could not get one in my price bracket.... Obviously I was looking for one still attached to the transit.

They make a cracking box trailer too.... Very sturdy when being towed, smart looking and very spacious for lots of carrying capacity.
