Just remember that if the towed car has a mechanical speedo, the odometer ticks over even though the cars not going. Important if you have a car that you may want to keep the mileage low [restored car?]

I dont think I would trust a valuable car on that type of trailer.

I can't see how it will get around the GVM issue - you still need to stop it.

I've used that type of trailer before and they are a great little trailer for towing a car round on. I should have never sold mine. One thing to be careful with, is not to turn to sharply with them, as the car on the trailer will hit yours, or visa versa.

looks like a little ripper, does it have brakes? if it did`nt have brakes i would`nt use it for car towing, and it would`nt be legal i suspect, nothing to stop you putting the rear end on the trailer along as the steering is locked securly in the straight ahead, no idea about regs for these type of trailer.

nah i wasnt going to get that one i just used it for the picture purpose.
trailer would be a better way but the tow rating on my fairlane is 2300kg thats fine providing the trailer has electic brakes without elec brakes i can only tow 2000kg which car and trailer are over plus if theres a accident both cars are damaged i cant claim on my insurance.
