I don't understand the logic either.

Here there is an age limit, ironically after a certain age (I don't know the cut off) Morgan's were no longer allowed to fit a tow bar.

A great shame for people that enjoy this kind of touring whilst having a great car for unhindered exploring, I know Tim has an earlier car hence my comment.


Piqued my interest, It's all about type approval for the towing equipnent (I.e towbar securing points, weight limits etc,etc), and I guess the reasonings behind it are reasonable, principally manufacturer cost to type approve.
I guess I'll take a tent, or glamp if we get back to Boardmasters again grin2
Either that or buy an(other) earlier Mog!
From The Ministry
"If your car was first used before 1 August 1998, your tow bar doesn’t need to be type-approved."

Interesting research for towing folk on TM - so all you need is a DeLorean Plu8 then laugh2 if I've got that right.

You are a brave man going down to the Boardmasters, our Son and his girlfriend live close to Newquay and surf several hours a day whenever they can but don't go near it, mind it would involve getting time off work and as they only work a 3 day week each anyway that can get a little tricky at times in the season as they are both middle management in the leisure industry and work to live.
Unlike their parents rofl
They have just bought their second house down there so they are getting something right bless them. They'll probably rent one out long term to a chichi smile
