A lot of grass - but it's no lemon!

Featuring hemp bodywork, potato tyres, cashew nut shell brake pads and biodegradable engine oil, 'Eco One' is an environmentally friendly racing car built by engineers at the University of Warwick. It manages to be 90-95% recyclable or biodegradable with a power to weight ratio better than a Ferrari Enzo!

The car will be transported to events on a Brian James 'Clubman' trailer and the team are delighted with their choice, saying it allows them quickly and easily to load/unload the car.

Pope-mobile for sale again

For the second time in two years, eBay hosted an auction for a car said to be Pope Benedict XVI's 1999 VW Golf hatchback. Though bids surpassed $204,000, a reserve price wasn't met.

The car's owner, a Texas-based online casino, had posted two German automobile registration documents that list "Josef Kardinal Ratzinger" as the vehicle's previous owner.

How much they wanted for the trailer isn't recorded...

A-Max gathers some Moss

Stirling and Susie Moss competed in last month's Tour Auto event beginning in Paris. Stirling's MGB was transported to and from the event by his long time technical wizard Don Haldenby of DCH Autocraft.

The unfortunate early demise of the MGB was easily dealt with by the new Brian James Trailers A-Max that Stirling and his team were making full use of. We wish the team better luck next year!

Swift start to our sponsorship season

Darlington's Paul Swift started his challenge for the Link Up Ltd MSA British Autotest Championship with the Fastest Time of the Day in dry sunny conditions in Hereford, on challenging concrete roads left from the wartime American army hospital.

New trailer for Nith Inshore Rescue

Brian James Trailers have a long record of manufacturing custom trailers to specific requirements, some aspects of which often find their way into our production models. So we were very happy to make a small trailer to carry the Nith Inshore Rescue boat. Operating in the fast currents of the Solway Firth, the Nith boat is a valuable service, requiring rapid deployment

Their committee were equally pleased with the service they received from us and our distributor West Skelston Services in Dumfries, making this project a particular pleasure. You can read their letter here.
