I part owned a panel shop at the time and we used to tow them from our storage facility to the shop. About 2klms away. The towed vehicle also had to have a sign saying "under tow", a working hand brake and brake lights, or portable ones fitted. Times have long changed. Illegal now because of insurance requirements.
