Thanks to all of you for the input I have received about a trailer. Have decided to go with a new build.
Jaguar 4x4 trailer. If you look on his website Jaguar4x4trailers, I have ordered the Jag 3. Jacques is an amazing person, and his trailers look great. Will post some photo's when I pick mine up.
