This is the score.

Some of you might know I do the Scumrun rally. The 2010 scumrun rally is nearly upon us and to this end, I won this the other day:

2000 RENAULT ESPACE RXE V6 AUTO WHITE on eBay (end time 13-Jan-10 22:38:38 GMT)

We're planning another theme this year. Taking an Renault Espace and turning it into an Espace shuttle

Anyways, the main problem is its got no drive! I have sorted out a garage to take it into (who will diagnose for free as well) I just need to get it from Petersfield to Epsom, 45 miles in total.

Does anyone have a trailer or aframe I could borrow? It would really be helping me out.

If you can assist, please PM or email astraboy_uk@hotmail.com

Cheers in advance,
astraboy.

A lot of motor for not much money. Can you not get a mate to help tow it by rope?

I would, but isnt it illegal to tow on a rope?

I've never really found a definitive answer to this. Halfords still sell ropes, you'd imagine they wouldn;t if it was illegal.

I've heard it;s illegal on the motorway, and also some people say it's illegal anywhere.

Why not get a tow bar ?

It is illegal to tow with a rope on a motorway (except with approval/assistance from the Police).

Towing on normal roads is perfectly legal so long as the rope has a red & white banner suspended midway between the cars, and you display a clear and legible sign in the rear window.

Given how Renault set brake servos and power steering up though, I wouldn't want to be the driver of the Espace if the engine ain't running
