i was looking into the legalities of those the other day, and found this
"Apparently, It is ok as long as the vehicle is roadworthy. (has brakes, legal & safe tyres, indicators etc) If using a rigid bar or towing dolly, just a rolling chassis is permitted. The driver of the towed vehicle must have at least third party liability insurance. The towed vehicle does NOT have to have a current MOT or TAX, PROVIDING it is only going on a one way journey. (be it scrapyard, MOT, SVA etc) Any officer who stops the convoy may request proof of such after the journey.(MOT failure/pass certificate etc) The rear of the towed car Should have a clear notice stating ON TOW or TOWED VEHICLE. Hazzard warning lamps need only be used when required (unnessecary use may confuse other drivers). If no indicators are used, appropriate hand signals must be used to warn other drivers of your movements. Stay well below the speed limit, & remember to allow for extra weight when braking."
