Hi All,
I am interested in getting a trailer for the Healey Hundred.  My towing 
vehicle is a Jeep Grand Cherokee.  I have been thinking about it a bit and 
have two ideas that seem practical, but no one in the trailer selling 
business seems to know where to send me.  

I thought it would be nice to have a trailer that could be used both as an 
open trailer and some form of enclosed trailer.  My first thought was to get 
an open trailer and have a fibreglass bubble made for it (Any pre-mades???) 
that could be hinged at the front for ease to get the car on and off the 
trailer.  And still be able to lock it down securely.  This could be made in 
a low profile, our cars are only 5'2" with the tops up.   Perhaps with vents 
for heat.  And still be removable to use the trailer as an open trailer.

Second thought was similar:  Open trailer with a fibre glass or metal stone 
guard on the front.  Then add two or three aluminum tubes bent as hoops over 
the car and have a custom tent covering with zippered doors.  Kinda like a 
calistoga wagon.  Even slant the rear to avoid splash back.

I am told to get a tandem with progressive brakes and tongue sway control.

So, I am putting it out to those of you who know, or those of you who are 
creative, or have had experience.  What are your thoughts?  Recommendations? 
Suggestions?

Thanks in advance...
Richard Gordon
