Most definitely illegal in Spain and Portugal , Spanish traffic law dictates that any car not being driven must either be on a purpose built approved car trailer or on a recovery truck .
If you choose to ignore the law in Spain you run the risk of being fined and made disconnect and possibly having your car impounded by the Guarda Civil Traffico .
They have a Facebook page N332 which you can post questions and they generally answer in english within 5-6 hours.
Belgium is also a no no for A-framing as is Germany , not sure about France

A Frames are not strictly legal anywhere because they have not been type approved for use behind motorhomes.Some countries including the UK and France tend to turn a blind eye to their use. The other day, I can't remember where I saw that the UK Government are looking into the use of A-Frames, to what end I don't know. The only completely legal way to transport a car anywhere in Europe is a proper trailer. I think A-Frames are something of a UK phenomenon which I suspect leads to us not being in a position to push for their recognition.
