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.


There's no way I'd pull even a micro caravan with a Morgan, the weight of the trailer would be far too close to the weight of the car. Those Go-Pod caravans weigh 500Kg empty, and you need an MTPLM of 750Kg to be able to legally tow. My car weighs 850Kg wet. Although my car is old enough not to need to comply with the later rules, they were brought in with a very good reason, and I'm by no means certain you could get insurance cover anyway.

Fair enough, towing anything has never appealed to me whatsoever, the only exception I made was when we bought the children a Honda powered Deavinson cart and we had to get a trailer to shift it around for them to enjoy - it made them them all quick drivers so I'm not sure whether that was a good idea but it was great fun watching them explore the limits.
