tinfoilhat Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I think you need a car transporter (or car trailer). It's still on the road technically and although not under it's own steam I think it still needs tax and mot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisT70 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 you cant tow anything thats not taxed or tested on the road on its own wheels as far as i know. check it out before you do owt as they love nicking people for stuff like this. BDS trailers will hire you one for 50 quid to get it home legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the laws or regulations on this? If you want to tow it it needs to be taxed and insured and you can only take it to test centre if you have booked it in and back if it fails. Otherwise as other posters have said, get a trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxon Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 You also need to make sure that YOU have the appropriate entitlement on your drivin licence. If you passed your test since 1997, you might need to take a B+E test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
