Towing frames
general baxter:
what are the law on these? the car needed to be transported dont have tax or insurance
Range Rover Blues:
Illegal, very very illegal.
The car has to be road legal. You are only allowed to recover a broken down vehicle to a place of safety and must still observe the towing limits of the towcar as stipulated by the manufacturer, inlcuding unbraked/braked trailers.
If you set off from home with one you are breaking at least one law [-X

the car is a 750kg nova (stripped out race spec) being towed with my patrol

if so it is perfectly legay aslong as it is rigged up with the brake mechanisms on to the pedal, and Lighting set up
when i was a Fiat mechanic we used to fit them to Cinquecento and Seicento to be towed behind a Ducato and Scudo Camper Van with all rear lights rigged on a trailer Plug to operate when use in Ducato or Scudo
