Brian James Trailers car trailers up to 3.5 t (class O2) – from motorsport roots to car-transporter specialist: A Series, Cargo, Clubman, 267 versions, widths up to 2,550 mm
Brian James Trailers is a British family business that began over four decades ago building motorsport trailers and today manufactures in Rugby, Warwickshire; in 2023 it received the King's Award for Enterprise. Its motorsport origins explain the breadth of the range: model families such as the A Series and A-Maxx for vehicle transport, Cargo as a closed box trailer and Clubman as a classic car transporter sit in the register alongside plant and tipper trailers, into which Brian James has since expanded its programme.

The register lists 267 versions with kerb weights from 340 to 1,600 kg, gross weights from 1,300 to 3,500 kg and notably wide bodies from 1,730 to 2,550 mm, fitting its vehicle-transport focus; lengths are recorded for only 31 models and range from 4,000 to 8,320 mm.
With its focus on car transporters and plant trailers, Brian James Trailers positions itself in the UK market alongside Ifor Williams, though more strongly aimed at professional users from motorsport, the car trade and construction than at agricultural or private customers.
On car transporters, the condition and function of loading ramps and lashing points matter in particular, plus, as with any class O2 trailer, the coupling head and overrun brake, axles and rubber-torsion suspension, frame corrosion, lighting system, floor or load bed and tarpaulin, and tyre age; Brian James sells through a UK and European dealer network with good parts supply.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
