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.
