hello all.
i need to transport 2 cars 150miles in opposite directions (dont ask)
anyway 1 is a corsa gsi c20let f28+full interior ect other is mk2 vw jetta gt standed. ime considering geting a towbar for my seat leon 1.8turbo (180hp version) i can borrow a decent car trailor for the weekend fo basically nothing but unsure if the seat is capable of towing them. what do you think?
failing that anyone no of any companies that transport cars for sensible money? unfortunatly both cars drive but have no tax/mot so cant blag the rac to recover. bit stuck atm and needs to happen sooner rather tan later due to current storage circumstances
any advice much appreciated

i dont see why your car couldnt tow them? suppose depends how big the trailor is as well though. and whether you feel confident towing.

You can't tow a car with a Leon, it's not heavy enough.

I didn't think you could tow if the car has no MOT or tax? Wheels have to be off the ground or something? I could be wrong.

luke- yes both cars are in oxford. i work in norfolk now hense needing the transport
the corsa needs to go from wallingford oxfordshire to paignton devon. the corsa is also insured but has no mo yet and hense no tax. weather insurance makes any difference i dont no
the jetta needs to go from wallingford oxfordshire to marham norfolk (near kings lynn) jetta has no insurance.
no idea on prices beardy. i have never looked into it before.
many thanks for all the replys

Will ring him tomoz mate and pass your details on as he has wagons big and small up and down everyday.
I am getting Luke's picked up tomoz so Oxford to Oldham,Manchester an he is charging 220 an thats a direct pickup with him not having anything in the middle.
Example how he works is say Lukes corsa, he may have a car to go from manchester to london and then he will pick lukes up on the way back meaning you only get charged one way.
