Question for Glenny 54 or Transporter Man…do you know if there are any Carrimore mk6 or mk9’s still around, would be nice to know if any got saved from the cutting torch.
Got to be some in existance in a scapyard somewhere considering the amount that were produced in its day. I don’t think there can be any left running today because of the size of the modern cars, its not only the width between the pillars and wheels that would cause a problem but also the decking would be to narrow for the modern day cars track. Just goes to show how things have changed, I can remember the days when the decking was to wide for some cars, if you were loading the old Fiat 500s; you had to drive onto the trailer then get out and pull the wheels out so they were on outside edge of the track. This worked ok as long as the deck was continuous, I dropped a wheel down the inside of the deck on the front of a drawbar once where the track changed onto the fold out extensions; wasn’t much of a problem two of us lifted it back on!
Even in there day it was tight driving vans between the wheels on a Mk9, on some models van it was the done thing to put rags between the bumpers and the sides of the trailers to prevent contact during transit.
The brakes wouldn’t meet todays standards as they were rod operated, the Girling expander and brake drums must have dried up 20 years ago.

talking about narrow decks,this was an early tri-decker,transporter man will tell us which model,this was a big load for this model the biggest problem was the middle deck,i once loaded two kia sedonas with the tyres scraping on my side,thats ok i thought.! wrong on the other side the inside of the deck had caught the alloys?.It was a very narrow deck.

Pinion went to Unipart next door to Mini when Heyford shut. I havent seen him for years. Long story with me. I left Autotragic and went to STVA at Honda then promptly got laid off, so I’m at Paragon for a while before Honda starts up again.

The trailer is a Hoynor D86, there was one version before this if you remember it was built like a space frame with several box sections between the pillars Abbey Hill were the first to use these dont know what the D designation was. There was also a 9 car between the Mk7 and the tri-decker nick named the Humpty Dumpty. The 10 car followed the D86 could have been the D89.

We use to load 9 XJ 6’s on them, t’was hard getting the one out of the well, if it had been raining, you only had about an inch each side.

They were new to Abbey Hill and the reason given for parking them up early was that they couldn’t give them to agency drivers and they kept the Mk 7s running. We looked at them and couldn’t make our minds up about buying them. A week or two later Chalky White applied for a job and said that he had used one on the BMW ferry with no problems, we bought them and found that they worked well once the drivers were used to them.

Hi Jeff No thats not the one you had it is E980 FJR new to Dave Emanual, the F reg was F230 NCN new to Brian Hubbard have photos of both once I sort them out.
this is what happened to me when we were sent into the wilds of wannee,Jason hall and me were on contract to QEK,we went to a country club the other side of Brighouse where there had been a show for new jags,when we got there the one thing we had noticed was the height of the trees when going there(we were later told they were delivered in keddys covered wagons),anyway,there was 8 for jason with his 10 car and 7 for me,so at least we could get our height down.
The problem then was getting the jag behind the cab,on this early hoyner the well deck had a cross beam half way and it was quite wide,as soon as the drive wheels got on that bare metal the power took over and just spun and took off to the side.Both me and jason tried and it took us a few tries,we eventually got it up but then the damage was done as you can see by the damage.I did hundreds of loads on that trailer and that only happened the once i’m glad to say.
