Southern trailer plates... “Ah sure it’ll be grand”!
Maybe we are documenting a heist here!

It’s a 720S in Mauvine Blue. Oddly though it must be a really poor spec. Those are the “free” wheels.

Mauve is a kind of purple, so Mauvine blue must mean purply blue?Those free wheels are still nice though

Does a car need to be tied down on all 4 corners on a transporter? I generally do 2 opposite sides front and rear, but if 4 are required I may start!

If I was transporting that Mac with a 1.5 million truck & trailer I’d still tie down all four corners. Seen straps let go too many times and if you’ve all four corners done and one let’s go at least you’ve still got another.
Plus I’d a car on a tilt & slide once and it bounced across a bit, strap came loose meaning the only one really holding it was on the front wheel, far from ideal.
I always check every tie down at every rest Stop too, can never be too careful
Should add, those behind the wheel straps are not ideal either, much better to have an over wheel with diverters
Sent that pic to a few specialist car transport guys I know, they done some laughing

That’s the job indeed and you always try and get the diverter as close to the wheel as possible just like @mcma1 man has done there. If you like at the floor of his trailer it’s designed for proper straps, that’s an option and so many spec them wronglyThat's crazy.
All four wheels need strapped down by law I believe and as you say Chris over wheel straps essential !!
Cheers
What does it cost to bring a car from England in a setup like that? Looks very safe and secure.
