Thanks guys for the help, need to do more research looking to buy 2 car trailers at the moment one for england and the other for dubai. Just last year had my granddads car towed due to the hydraulics failing as the car wasn't driven or started for 8 months. Couldn't find a recovery truck that would be able to lift the whole car as we live in central london, moving around is difficult when you have a big truck in the city. We found this at short notice.
 Click image to enlarge While loading the exhausts scraped the tarmac below and damage was done to both exhausts, got them replaced. 
Click image to enlarge Even when driving the car of the recovery truck was hard enough luckily no damage to the undercarriage. Click image to enlarge Going to forward these pictures and get some more information from the car trailers manufacturers. Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  '08 LR Defender 110

Intersting thread, as I hope to buy some kind of General Purpose trailer soon, maybe can't quite afford a new one, but its nice to see the reccomendations. I want something big enough to take a Landrover at least! 2011 110 USW
