How about a car on a 'dolly'? That is to say, a car with the front wheels strapped on a trolley but the rear wheels on the ground?

From the AA legal services advisors on towing and trailers.

Although a car being towed with an A Frame technically becomes a Trailer it never stops being a Motor Vehicle (even with the engine and gearbox removed) and needs to be fully road legal if all four wheels are on the ground. An A Frame can only be used to recover a broken down vehicle and then there is the issue of weight. A towed vehicle over 750kg needs to braked and all but the smallest cars are over 750kg.
