Burgundymog ... has that always been the case though? ... I seem to remember earlier trads being able to tow (though not massive trailers! 🙂)

Two areas - Car builr after August 1998 have to have a vehicle specific EC approved tow bar, Before that, there are no regs and you can create your own tow bar fitting.
Then there's 'train weight' - if your VIN does not have a train weight, techincally you can't tow with it. I think they became legal around 1986 so before that is a bit of a grey area.
