look for some trailer hire companies if you are planning on bringing the car home yourself, if not you'll be looking at someone to collect for you.

I don't know about North Yorkshire but I know of a guy in Huddersfield who trailers cars for people.

Lots of people do car transportation though, search for someone in your area who does it would be your best bet.

Unless you've done the towing test, you won't be able to bring the car back yourself as it will be over the weight restriction for more recent drivers.

You'll also need to consider the max towing weight for whatever tow car you plan to use.

Sure you can hire a trailer from around £35/50 a day. Its just finding somewhere that does it.
