About 3:30pm, spotted by a fellow Lotus driver and posted on my build thread on one of the Lotus forums I frequent.

Anyone recognise the cars?

John Whalley and Griff - I think I read somewhere else that they're headed to an event in Norway.

Impressive trailer. Is a Disco rated for towing that weight?

It would need a tachograph. Unless there was absolutely no commercial aspect to the journey. Or that was the case four years ago when I did my driver qualification card. But it's a nightmare to understand.

Disco can pull 3500kg so should be within it's limit comfortably, assuming under 1000kg per car plus approx 1000kg for the trailer.
As John says it should probably have a tachograph fitted as it is being used to transport somebody else's car which would make it look like commercial use.
I'm sure Griff will be able to clarify the legalities

Mr Whalleys 'new' social domestic & pleasure machine, no commercial connotation unless you include the cost of Mr Whalleys' sausage sarny. So no tacho requirement

Both cars comfortably under 1000kg, Disco rated for 3500kg, trailer is a bit trick, and it tows beautifully. It took a little while (trial and error) to get the balance correctly worked out.
