Can this really be legal? Sure it can be safe if it's been well done, but legally what's the crack?

My 'legal' question was on the basis that I assumed you'd have to have some form of change of use inspection for such a thing And that I don't recall seeing one with a single wheel rear axle on the road, assumed they'd need to be dual wheeled to carry big cars at least. An uneducated view I guess!

Since the owner says it easily handles freelander and 406 etc, which must be 1800 kg cars at least, how much does a wan like this with all that steel strapped to the chassis actually weigh??

Steering might be a little light
The picture with the honda (FRV) on it is hilarious. Surely if these trucks average 2-2.5t themselves, plus that hinda has to be 2t then these are regularly pushing 4-4.5t as a routine.

So, they are very illegal then?
