is there anyone around Newbury way with a trailer ?.
i have the posibility of buying yet another MX5 but it has no tax and i would need the car picked up on said trailer and taken to my place just off the M4 in london or someone elses house in Reading till i get the tax sorted...i am the type that would get a tug for no tax .

Or book it in for an MOT, its perfectly legal to drive an untaxed car to a MOT appointment and then home again. Book it with a chain one that you wouldnt normally use for later on in the day and then just drive home and cancel it once home, if you get stopped just tell them its booked in for a MOT, they may call the garage to confirm it.

Max load on my trailer is 750kg, if the MX5 is very close to this I can help.
