Call VOSA, they will give you the right answers! 

vosa use different rules. Try arguing lighting laws with a wheel tapper,then when plod turn up and say "drivers right mate" they get upset A lot.

Next question - If I did tow it on the A frame, are they going to let me take it through the Dartford tunnel ?
Might hve to ring and ask them.

don't use the tunnel just take the ferry.

[albitz]

That could work.

with either a aframe or dolly you cant tow over 750 kg unless it has brakes.

Ok so you drive from yours to London. Pick the car up, drive to Dover. Ferry to french france. Drive to flemish flanders, Ferry to Felixstowe and then home... nice day out



Oh, wait a minute... did you mean the Woolwich ferry

May need to get a car from South Croydon back to North Essex. I don't fancy towing it around the M25 with my A frame,as it isn't taxed or MOT,d and theres cameras and plod all over the place on there.
Car weighs around 1200kgs so that on a trailer would, afaik, be well over the weight limit for my Omega to tow ?  Also doubtful whether they would allow me to take it through the Dartford tunnel with the A frame ? So -it looks like a trailer with van or similar is the only option ?
Anyone with a magic wand - thanks in advance.

If you don't want to try the tunnel then you could go clockwise round the M25
Alternatively travel on Sunday (to avoid the congestion charge). Go straight up the A23 through Streatham (try not stop....) past Waterloo station, over the Thames, through Camden and then up the A1 until you get to the M25 again.

He wouldn't need the car then, cave dweller.

Cars would just be for fun as I can't see much fun in being teleported  , and I'd always worry that a fly might slip in the machine with me....
