If you get stuck have a look in your yellow pages for trailer hire.

I think our local one in Sheffield does car trailers for £25 + Vat per day.

Just tried on BT

Thought there may have been more.  Try altering the search.

A trailer that big will have brakes.
You're loking at around a ton & a half or so, I think mine is 1700kgs ish
