I would love one of them but how do you open the door once you've driven on? Maybe a remote for the lift?

You build it Col and I'll buy it off ya :spoton:

frOcking awesome, so much want.

Not sure about where they have the number plate and tail lights though, recon that wouldn't pass inspection but would need to double check the vsb.

There was a company selling them at a swap meet last year. 13k or there abouts from memory. The number plate was removeable. I got a pic of it somewhere

How do you lift the drawbar once the car is loaded on? There aren't too many jockey wheels that can lift half a tonne from ground level up to tow bar level.

 

I also don't like the air bag arrangement when it is in transport mode.Being forced to bend like that, it looks to me like they would end up with fatigue splits at the top. I would at least make a cover for them to keep them out of the sun.

 

They do say that it complies with all Australian road and safety standards, but I doubt those tail lights would get over the pits in W.A.  If you have any object poking out the back of a ute longer than 500mm you are supposed to have a bright flag attached.

I want something like that

But

I want it incorporated into the Cadillac so I'm not actually towing a trailer

No ramps just bags... easy on and off

THat would actually be trivially easy with one of the front wheel drive caddy's.

Is that a Noble on the back? Nice car on the back of an ugly one.
