Halfords sell them. One of the best bits of kit I've ever bought.

sorry mate but i think you aint clued up about towing my friend

ive had my cossie towed with a mk4 escort van and the only issue we had was my mte in the van braking too hard and my cossie knocking the back of the van into a spin type thing,,, that was his error though not the pole

The towing dolly is a good bit of kit we have used one to tow a truck back and never failed me also another one to have a look at is a one man tow elimating the need for a 2nd driver.
