Observe the context...
It would appear that the context in which that trailor occurs is the "RV pull behind" crowd which favor the easy load and unload as opposed to just holding the thing on there. Might try looking on RV related sites or searching with keywords related to that "car trailor for RV" os something similar.

Here's a double axle version.
I found this. Not quite what you are looking for but close. Try looking at construction trailers. This style is fairly common. What are you going to haul it with?

Hey Daniel...
The only one I've seen is the flatbed that one other listed below... they are indeed a kick in the butt to use and simple... but also heavy and expensive NEW. Usually sell for about 2500 used.
The Aussie one you posted is indeed something I've seen before in Australia... but nowhere else... and looks MORE appropriate for hauling a 2000 lb X, but nuttin' else.
I'm unsure WHY you want the trailer but if you plan on hauling any REAL cars, the Aussie trailer would not be sufficient. Secondly, I find FLAT TOWING my X to be relatively convenient without the hassle of a trailer, the only limitation is the inability to BACK UP. I've towed mine several thousand miles without a "hitch" as it were, and the cost was about $120 for the lights, tow-bar, and materials to build an adapter. More info if ya want...
Keep yur butt down!

I purchased the Australian Version about 2 years ago. It cost A$3,300 (US$5,000). It has a maximum tow capacity of 1500Kgs or 3300 lbs including the trailer itself which weighs 300Kg or 660lbs. So excluding the trailer it will tow a maximum of 1200Kgs or 2640lbs.
It's a simple device but can be as scary as all hell when you drive the X up the ramp and wait for the fulcrum effect to kick in and the trailer to fall into a horizontal position. One day I was supervising my son driving up the ramp and he over-cooked it and drove off the end of the ramp and nearly landed in the rear of the tow car. Got some pics somewhere LOL. Even funnier trying to take the X off the trailer.

These are available in teh US. Several autocrossers and F44 / F500 racers use them.
I will try to hunt up a manufacturer.

Look at the Custom Trailers section then go to page 8, they show a tilt bed style. http://www.montrosetrailers.com/gallery/custom?page=8
Looks a little small for an X but since everything is made to your specs they can probably duplicate the one from Aus.
I saw their ad in my Hagerty classic car insurance biannual magazine.
