What size trailer

I have a 2012 Mini R56 Cooper Hardtop. What size open trailer do I need to tow it? Also what size enclosed trailer would I need?

Thanks,

Craig

I don't know about the sizes you would need but you could tow it with just a dolly with the front wheels tied down.

I just did this the other week with a tow dolly. Went really smooth. Was $45 a day from UHaul.

oh hell no!, dont use a uhaul dolly. I did that last year delivering my brothers H3 to New Orleans and towing my mini. When I went to back off the dolly, the bottom of my bumper hung up on dolly and ripped the bumper and front wheel fender flares off the mini. I was so pissed... I didnt want to use the dolly and insisted that uhaul rent me a low profile car carrier trailer and they insisted that the dolly would do the job... it was late and I needed to get on the road, so I caved into their crud and suffered the consequences on a Saturday night...
