I have used U-Haul several times. A Spit, TR6 and a GT6. They are
all tight fits for width but will make it. If you intend to do this a
lot then buy what you want to use. Having used the dolly and the
trailer when I am going a short distance (in town for repair for
example) I use the dolly. When going any kind of distance I use the
trailer.

Take a look at http://www.vtr.org/maintain/autotrailer.html. I used a
Ryder
car trailer for a TR6, but be forwarned you will be required to rent
their
truck, too. I think I paid about $130 for a 150 mile trip for both,
including mandatory insurance. I arranged for a one way rental. Bring
a
come-along or two to coax it onto the trailer, and make certain you
get one
that fits, i.e., the track width will accomodate your car. The one I
rented
just barely did. I don't know about a Spit. If you have a big pickup
with
lots of power, you might get around the truck rental requirement with
U-Haul. You'll need it, since the trailer is pretty hefty.
I agree with others that towing is risky and certainly would require
disconnecting your drive shaft.
