Trailer or towing dolly for a seven?

For to and from TD's

The dolly would seem easier for storage when not being used, but are there any issues transporting your car on one? I seem to remember reading somewhere they are not strictly legal..?

They are half the price too

Dont use a dolly, if you have an off on the track and damage the car, with a trailor you can always load it on no matter how bad it is, with a dolly your very limited, seen it at race meetings!

Hmm... might have been the thread linked above I read, and after reading through it again remember what made me post this

So it seems dolley's are technically a trailer but no-one will enforce that, might need brakes if more than 750Kg although a BEC is usually under 500Kg, and might attract unwanted attention...

Go's off and scratches head

A trailer is the obvious final solution
