Mark;
I've used Uhaul auto transporters to haul both a '71 and a '73. The
channels for the wheels were right on the edge of being too wide apart, but
it worked just fine. On the units I've used the inside edges of the
channels were bent up at a 45 degree angle. The inside edges of the Spit
tires fit right in the corner of that angle. I had no problems getting the
cars onto the trailers. The cars rode beautifully. The trailers tracked
well and had surge brakes on them.
Hope this helps.

Hi all - I hope nobody minds too much that I drop in and out of the list
when I have a question - I just can't keep up on all the lists I used to
belong to, so now I cycle through.
Anyway, I'm moving from Southern California to Southeast Arizona soon.
It will be inconvenient to drive the spitfire there, so intend to
trailer it. I intend to rent a U-Haul van and trailer (the full size
kind to get all four wheels off the ground). Does anybody know for sure
if I can just drive the spit up the trailer? I'm worried about ground
clearance and short ramps. Any comments would be appreciated.
Regards,
