here is the wording from the goverment site. Makes you wonder why they include the reference to 750kg at all.

The reason is that if you have a heavy tow vehicle (3500kg) you can still tow a trailer up to 750kg, resulting in a combined MAM of 4250kg. Think loaded Transit van with a light trailer.

In all other cases the maximum combined MAM is 3500kg.

An incredibly stupid law.

To clarify my previous post. Ian wanted to move a 25ft boat by road on a trailer. Land rover Defender can legally tow 3500kg as a standard vehicle. If the trailer weighs 800kg the boat can not weigh more than 2700kg, The combined weight of the boat and the trailer. Might seem obvious but needs to be taken into consideration.
