Without sounding dense, wtf is a beaver tail.
Don't ask me to Google it as SWMBO is sitting next to me.

Sounds like a good plan.

Think the trouble would be that by the time you have built it you may only have the load carrying ability to recover a Fiat Cinquicento or a Smart car???
The problem with adding an axle is the extra weight of the axle and extra chassis and suspension to put it there, then add the flat bed on top you may end up with more than 1000lbs on your existing vehicle even with cutting the body back to pick up cab.
Not sure the Disco chassis would take it?
Although as a king cab spec lift I think it'd be great!!!

Disco mgw are 2700kgs. They are about 2100 kerb weight so unless your recovering biddies on their scooters then your not going to get much else.
Buy a trailer.

Wouldn't be worth the hassle of getting it through an IVA test. If you're set on having a land rover car transporter, why not get a 110/130?

What do you mean by load? The payload or mgw?
You will need an O license for that weight.
