anyone know if i can legally do this.
clouseau:
There are always ways in which you can twist the law - but be it on your heads lads because it will be your job to prove what you were doing (or 'saying' that you were doing), not the boys in blue.
Sorry to be all doom and gloom but we really don't need anymore bad press. I'm sure that all you lads and lasses out there are mature and responsible, so for the sake of a few quid, if its not legal trailer it! [-X
Porny:
Shame your so far away..... I've got a little trailer that the Landy would fit on!!!
Actually more useful than you think - moved numerous cars, land rovers, tractors, sheds etc etc ... only problem is storage as it's 22ft long...
Though this isn't too bad, stored at a local farm next to some caravan's for a small fee.

Absolutely agree, whilst you could bend the rules on the MOT it is hardly worth the risk (incidentally after an MOT fail you are allowed to drive to a place that will repair the car OR home) but trailer hire is not too expensive.
It is only legal to recover a breakdown with a rigid bar, because the car you're moving is over 750kg it needs brakes so you cannot start the journey with it as a trailer.
Another option, look in your local rag for "cars taken away free", ring the bloke and ask him how much to move it for you, most of them are self-employed and I have friends who do this for a living. Cash is cash for them!
MUSKIE:
cheers for the input.

I would say for the sake of your license and wallet get a trailer. If you get stopped by the cops you will end up paying the same amount as a trailer but you will get a few points on your license as well!
