Has anybody got one of these.......
I need to borrow one of these for a weekend soonish and then again in a month or so, it dont have to be exatly the same but you get the idea (no single bar offers though please, must be a frame style front wheels on road or not dont matter)
West midlands or kent area would be great but i can travel a short distance.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAR-RECOVE...item25678f027c
Basicly i need to move my mini from the midlands to kent and i dont have the trailer part on my licence but i have up to 750kg allowed on my B licence and as a mini is way under 750kg (mine is around 580 or so) i can use on of these to tow it home as its also under the 750kg braked trailer law so i can tow all legally with tail board etc
so can anyone help? i can collect from most places and leave a deposit and rent money/beer lol
if you can help please message me

it had crossed my mind but then i remembered a time with a mate when he broke down and it took about 6 hours to get to 1 plae in kent to another place in kent that was around an hour and a half drive due to various changes in recovery trucks and waiting times, dont fancy that from hereford to kent really.......not again lol
If you're going to pick-up/leave beer etc etc then you're probably better off spending £150 on the frame then selling it on afterwards.

IIRC your allowed to tow more than 750kg IF the towning vehicle ways more than the trailer and mini put together but the total comes to under 3500kg
ie jeep 1.7 tonne + 600kg trailer + 700kg mini is O.K = 3 tonnes

Hutton d, yer i may just do that or keep it just in case. i shall see what comes of this post and the others i have put on other forums, plus pick up wont cost me anything due to being all over the uk most of the week with my work
cheers retromk1, i did think that was the law but the trailer hire place i spoke to today told me about the 750kg thing, i did think they were wrong at the time though
