Happy to tow behind my van as have proper recovery ropes and shackles as this is how I moved my landy 20 miles!!! Let me know!!!

do i need to sit in the car? sorry for late reply. if you could help it be great

Can't help with a trailer but re the above, pretty sure if it's just being towed behind something but running on it's own wheels, then it needs it's own tax/insurance in order to be legal anyway - at that point you'd really be no better off than just driving it. If it was no tax only then I'd probably suggest you chance it for a couple of miles, but I'm not sure I'd suggest that with no insurance.

I will not be as useful with the towing as Shimmey, but if you are on the Bagshot side and need somewhere to keep it out of the way pretty sharpish i can manage that.

Yep it needs TAX insurance and Mot if any part of the car touches the road

not sure if it needs tax mot or insurance as many off roaders get towed to play site without any of that as it is a vehicle on the road but is not being propelled by it own steam! if that make sense??

i belive the law states that any mechcanically propelled vehicle needs to have tax mot etc but being towed i believe is different as it not being mechcanically propelled

where in camberley is it going from to as camberley cant be more than 2 miles wide!??

Nope, unfortunately if a vehicle if being towed and any of its road wheels are on the ground then it needs road tax. Ditto if a car is parked on the street instead of on private land (like your driveway) it needs road tax.
Remember that to get a tax disc you need insurance and MOT...

If the vehicle is on a trailer and therefore none of its road wheels is actually turning then it doesn't have to have tax/mot/insurance

sorry for not seeing this but yes you would need to help steer and brake. Unless you get a real REAL jobworth of a copper you will have no problems at all. where in camberley to where in camberley does it need moving???
