Towing a disco
topless matt:
Well, a frames are another kettle of fish.
If you tow anything on an A frame that weighs more than 750kg then it needs some form of braking system as it is a towed object.
Also, it is still a vehicle on the road, and therefore must be taxed and insured or you can be pulled up on it.

if it is being suspended towed as in on a spec lift or towing dolly it doesnt need tax and mot etc as it becomes a trailer

That might have been true at one time but I'm pretty sure it isn't any more. If the towed car is capable of moving under it's own power it can't be classed as a trailer and by that I mean built as a car so includes a broken down vehicle.

Im sure RRB is partly right...But I am sure if the car has two wheels up on a dolly then it does not need to be road legal...Best to just check with the local police station, dont cost nothing to ask.
