    That sounds like an offer, not to be refused.
    Dave's amongst the best spanner jugglers in the country, particularly with Land Rovers. Highly recommended.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Most so called " car trailers " are only rated to 2000 GVM and therefore can not carry a car . That is unless it's an Original Mini.
    For your job you would need a trailer rated at 2800 GVM +. Any trailer rated above 2000 GVM must be fitted with electric brakeaway brakes . End of story.
    Or you can run the gauntlet & pray you don't get caught or nothing bad happens

    not quite they can also be mechanical so long as the brake applies as soon as the trailer disconnects and will hold the trailer for a given minimum time (which i think was 15 minutes)

    Kennards have hire trailers rated to 3200 ATM. They have the break away device and a brake controller mounted on the drawbar. This talks by wireless to the controls that you plug into the 12v accessory plug in the tow car. Very good trailers. I recently hired one to bring a Volvo C303 home (500km) behind my D2. In hind site I was probably over the 3200 ATM!! still haven't weighed the Volvo but its got an awfully heavy steel tray on it

    There is a guy on gumtree around dandenong that hires out a fairly hefty tandem. You will need an electric brake controller though.
