Thats my understanding anyway, although ive used them many times and never been stopped so no ide what the penalty actually would be!
Yes its illegal, anything over 750kg must be braked.
And lets also not forget the Category B+E (if passed post 1997) needed on your licence to tow anything over 750 anyway.
They are only "legal" as a recovery/get me home item.
I think also there are issues over the car still being a 'car' and not a trailer. In other words the saph would need to be fully taxed, insured and MOT'd.
For the sake of £30-40 id hire a car trailer for the weekend (again asuming you have B+E on your driving licence)
