I don't know anything about the laws in England or Europe; however, I recently purchased a 1976 31ft Sovereign, which I towed back to my home state a distance of about 900 miles. These vintage trailers are much lighter than the newer models and I had absolutely no problems towing it with my 07 Ford 5.4L V8, which is considered a 1/2 ton truck. The dry weight came in at about 5,500 pounds, well within the range of this Ford. I would certainly inquire with the proper authorities in you country as to why you are being told you need such an oversized tow vehicle. Perhaps other trailer owners can help you with the information you need.
