Help! What model is my Rice trailer?

[Mardy Mare]

Hi there,

Can anybody help me? I would like to know some info on my Rice trailer via the Rice website but I don't know what model it is.

Its a single horse one and the badge has Rice of Leicestershire on it. If I could, I would give the VIN number but it has been painted over so much over the years that any numbers are unreadable!

Here is a picture, apologies if it doesn't work, Ive never posted a picture before!

Many thanks in advance!

If you get a scraper and scrape the paint off the chassis number, right down to bare metal, it leaves the number readable as some of the paint stays in it.

Then ring Richardson and they have all the old Rice records.

Dont be too surprised if it comes up with something different to a horse trailer.

I know a few people who have done it and they say something like "car transporter" if you rub down further there is often another number under it.

Can only assume that as these trailers are often many years old they have been stolen and a new number stamped on at some time.

Thanks for your reply.

Guess i'll have to get scraping! I didn't really want to damage the paint but guess theres no other way!
