No no it's a perfect runner... Just the seats and exterior are tatty, respray is on the way. It was towed for a few reasons.. one being no fuel, another is no insurance And has no tax... Apparently not meant to tow without tax but it had MOT so I thought bugger it, it'd be fine to cruise along  ________________________________________ A red rallye in progress! |

You shouldn't be towing with no insurance either - you're very lucky you didn't get busted.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Ah I know I know. . But then I thought well its gotta be better to tow it rather than drive it back Luckily it was back and valley roads but from a police point of view, that's besides the point! ________________________________________ A red rallye in progress! |

Surely if the tow vehicle driver was insured to drive the tow vehicle then that is sufficient as the towing driver and vehicle are in control of the towed vehicle while the rope is attached? Or has bureaucracy risen to new heights of absurdity? ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

I thought I read a while ago that it's allowed to be towed as long as it is road worthy, that being... MOT and taxed I thought, but not for sure .Yeah it may cost me a bit, but tbh isn't major things that need doing to it in my eyes ________________________________________ A red rallye in progress! |

Nope if your towing on a bar like that, it needs to be insured, tax'd and mot'd.If your towing on a dolly, it just needs to be insured If its on a flat bed or proper car trailer, it doesn't need any of the 3. |

All of the towed vehicles wheels remain in contact with the road. The towed vehicle would need to be insured for (at minimum) 3rd party risks. A-Frame. All of the towed vehicles wheels remain in contact with the road. The towed vehicle would need to be insured for (at minimum) 3rd party risks. Towing Dolly. Two of the towed vehicles wheels remain in contact with the road. The towed vehicle would need to be insured for (at minimum) 3rd party risks. A car trailer. None of the towed vehicles wheels are in contact with the road, no insurance is necessary. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye '99 - Sold |
