Trailer sizes and towing points and tips

Just wondering if anyone knows proper trailer size to tow a supra? (8 or 10ft) - 14ft long and a minimum of 6ft wide is about as small a trailer that can comfortably take a Supra

 

Next best tow points to for a Supra. - If you are referring to the best method of tying it down on a trailer then the proper wheel straps are the best for any vehicle

 

Any tips for towing behind an estate? - Not really advised as the towed weight is significant. A large Merc or Audi estate would probably work if desperate, but a large van or jeep is recommended.

The problem is you need a LOOOONG trailer as you need to keep the car fairly far back to keep the nose weight sane for a lightweight towing vehicle to handle. Otherwise, if the bumper is nearly over the tow hitch the nose weight is such the front wheels of the tow car will be pawing the air and it will be dire to drive, if not downright dangerous. It's not hard to confuse me, no apologies needed ;)
