Sankey Wide Track

Hobbit - thats not one I've seen before - the draught-eye and damper set-up is very different to 99% of the ones I'm used to over the last 22 years thats for certain.
the lights are common enough kit, but usually found elsewhere such as DAF or DROPS trailers. the Conti tyres are not that common, but I have seen them around the place, it looks to be a very early hydraulic braked version but in a configuration I've not seen before the rest of it matches - even the position of the squared fog lamps tallys with the older ones but that A frame is definitely way out there!
I mentioned the service trailer earlier - looks like there's one in the top RH corner of the first picture.............
Nice trailer though and it looks like it only really needs a bit of a tidy and good coat of looking at to be good to go.

I've seen the disk braked trailer refered to as Wolf trailers before, with the fog lights I'd guess it's not that old either. It sounds like you have no chassis plates for it though :-k as my Sankey Rapier has enough data on it to identify what it is.

there is a chassis plate, got the original mil registration number for it too (will post later the number is in my disco, not with me at home at the mo)
The lights (and reflectors) are rubberlite units, tried a local commercial trailer spares specialist near me and they said the lenses that I had with the trailer (2), were of a discontinued type, so the tie in with daf etc could well be,
The jockey wheel lock pin, to swing the unit up is bent and needs a bit of pursuation to release. but its still ok to release on the side clamp and slide it vertical though, but with the lightweight bumperettes they dont give me a sharp reversing angle before the wheel clamps catch on the offside
