Possibly Ifor Williams twin axle?
If you want to stay within the law you need to look at the unladen weight and gross train weight of the tow vehicle. I would think the CRV would be marginal with a 1 ton car. It also gives a kerb weight of 1550kg which is quite light for a 4X4, my disco is 2 tons unladen.

You will need at (least) a twin axle trailer, I wouldn't go for less than a 2000kg gross as you may also want spare tyres and fuel on board as well.
Are you buying new or SH as you also need to look at the emissions efficiency of any post 2001 car in light of the green lobby that is taking over the world.
