Look in the manual for your towing vehicle.
Unless you have a Land Cruiser Amazon, Range Rover, etc. you're not gonna be able to tow a car on a trailer (unless it's an original Mini, or something else made of paper).
ok nom its a 406 derv estate
towing a stripped out nova on a trailer think that would be ok ? dont have a manual for the 6 but the 405 manual dont mention it
you should be ok towing upto 2/3 of the weight of the towee vehicle (but that includes the trailer) a sierra towing a sierra on a 20 foot trailer means it doesn't get above about 45 mph without some serious sick sickness :)
Heh! Bit like TD Carlton towing V6 Vectra on trailer! Mate of mine broke down in Wales (right near the very end of the M4) and left the car at a garage and got a coach home and we picked it up a week or so later. I was hoping to be able to cruise at around 50-60mph, and needless to say that not feeling safe at anything much more than 40mph meant that we didn't get back home until a good two or so hours later than we'd hoped!

You'd be fine i'd imagine.
5 hours to get from london to derby :( both times :) needless to say, it's not going to happen again (crosses fingers and shakes fist)
If it's very stripped out, and the trailer isn't a massive great cast-iron jobbie, then I'd imagine it would be ok.
No liabilty if you crash and die though !
