Regards

Some company's can be a bit fussy and refuse to hire car transporter trailers but I see you want to get from someone not a company.
It may depend on what you are using as a tow car and even what you want to put on it.
A Rover 75 can drag 1600kg and the nose weight should not exceed 100kg which for a car is a lot. A car transporter and a Rover 75, you may be overdoing it

Thanks for the info. I've asked the DVSA & I'm towing it with Ranger Wildtrack so the guy said it was fine as long as it wasn't for hire or reward.

I used to hire car trailers for my personal use but never got questioned about my towing vehicle which is astonishing.
I’ve overcome the problem now by buying a car transporter with a capacity of 1600kg. That covers many vehicles. Having fitted air suspension it transforms the ride and stability at all weights.
