Hi guys, i have this trailer for sale but how much are these worth?
It is a early version and the rubber suspension springs are shot but for the rest it's pretty ok and needs some tlc.

Hi DH!

I have a later one, 1984 Westy, think it was around £300, has had all the wood treated etc, and has different suspension, it seems to be built in to the swing arms rather than those on the early models.

The early's will probably have a slightly higher value maybe? Yours has the wooden top with was a extra, and is a nice addition.

Spares available here:

Dampers about £70 a set

I have seem them from around £250/300 to £475 for real nices on ebay, there was a dealer selling them on ebay a while ago, may have been Franks Westys Parts?

This one is £400 on ebay:

So in answer to your question, £300? But as always, it's whatever a person is prepaired to pay. ;)

Good luck with the sale DH

I would say anything b/w 350-450 quid. I bought my 1976 for 250 quid last year, needed dampers as well as new wood. Was missing spare bracket as well as the Jockey. I see that yours has Jockey intact.

Yours should be worth more because its earlier too. I would guess 66-70? I hope this helps.
