I need to move my track car about 3km along 50km/h roads. trying to find out if it's legal to tow by car & tow rope but can't find the info online. cheers
Probably not if the car is not legal for the road .

Send an advance party to check that the road is clear!
But as above, no it isn't legal.

Would 1 hour trailer hire be cheaper?

Probably but the last one I hired from the local was too narrow. That was a sad morning haha. I'm in the process of designing a custom trailer now. cheers
yer, just drive it, looks like it wouldn't take to long to cover 3km

just tow it, what cop would ticket you after you explain that you realise it should not be driven on the road ( driven ) and its only 3km to exit point, and yes explain about custom trailer too - keep the attitude right and be prepared for a 2 hr chat about drifting on track etc, you'll have him under the bonnet with a huge smile - if one even takes the time to stop you

You haven't got an A frame?
Mate brought a bonnet in today. He's finally got to the finished stage of a Mini restoration, so he just had to take it for an illegal drive. Guess what? He forgot to nail the bonnet down!
Been there, done that.
