chateaubriant Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 [quote user="NickP"]I'd like to see proof of your statement about a trailer carrying a car towed by a truck being illegal? Also I would advise you to weigh the car before you stuff it into a Luton van. The majority of twin wheel Luton vans are 35CWT capacity, single wheel a lot less. I would think that a car in someone else's name could be tricky, have you got a bill of sale? Why not register it in your name and SORN it. .[/quote]I came across this 'ban' when looking for trailers.Apparently closed in car trailers when towed with all up weight over 3500 kgs are banned.The reason apparently is to stop Travellers hauling caravans about. True or not I do not know.As to the car, was told by DVLA, the car needs to be MOTed before they will re-register to UK mainland in my name.I've got a rough hand written £450 receipt but it's hardly convincing.I do worry a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 When we moved our first lot of belongings over in 2002 we had bought an oldish horsebox to hold our things and towed it behind our english reg. Ford Escort.Perhaps we were lucky, but we were never stopped, and sold the horsebox locally a few years later.The next year had a small removal company to bring the rest of our belongings.Altogether the move cost about £2500. Sounds a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickP Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 "I do worry a lot" I think your problem is that you don't have the correct licence, as companies I deal with; transport specialist cars all over France in covered trailers. As for your storey about travellers well it beggars belief. So as they say on the tele; "sorry but I'm out" I can't invest any more time in this subject!

[:D][:D][/quote]Full licence from 1971As I say, just looking at trailers. Came across a covered one, selling because of French law change. Looked into in and found story re: travellers/Romas. So the story has nothing to do with me.I think you watch too much tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
