Barry. the vehicles are both tax and MOT exempt, he is not required by law to have brake lights and indicators all be it......its much much safer to have them. He will need an amber beacon if driving on roads with a greater speed limit than 20mph and as you say it will need to be road registered and insured.

If I was Andrew I would consider

1) who will go "top cover" for you

2) how much is the Low Loader

3) how many proven miles has the carrier done since rebuild ?

4) is it worth the stress of driving it there by which i mean folk often park cars etc in the worst places causing bottle necks etc etc it would be a pain to squeeze a carrier through to get it to the show... and its a good hour or so drive at carrier speed from where you are.

i say Low load it there and drive it back at the end of the show...or if something crops up get it low loaded back ;-)


just my two penneth ...... Barry has done 100% more road miles than me so he is in a better position to advise
