I heard you can get a trailor called an "A" trailor.
It folds out onto the car that needs to be transported and puts all 4 wheels of the car on the floor which means that normal licence people can tow cars without taking another exam.
Looked on ebay and cant find any, i might be wrong with the name it might be called something else.
Help please.

an A frame lifts the front pair of wheels off the ground does it not 
anyway, you don't want to be towing a car at all with your 106, a frame or not

An A-Frame leaves all four wheels on the floor. Its literally just a frame shaped like an A with a tow hitch connection on.
Btw...you don't need a special license to tow a trailer anyway.

No.... but my only experience with them is with cars built for competition, which don't have steering lock when engines off etc to complicate things!
