    Lots of people have used www.shiply.com to transport non runners about & Matbrown could possibly do it for a fee

    as above, shiply are very useful to find a cheap service

    if the car hasnt got tax mot or insurance it can't have any wheels on the tarmac, must be fully off the road

    technically yes, but i would of thought if you get stopped they wont be too keen on you going miles and miles on a rope for example, straight bar would be better bet

    on straight bar i'd go for it, but to be perfectly honest i don't know the ins and outs of the legalities of it in terms of distance etc. its possible you should only tow to nearest garage on something like that but again i have no idea

    ai we knew that

    its just if your bombing down the a roads at 50 on a straight bar, technically all legit, not sure if distance matters, in theory it shouldn't
