One of the UK dealers or trim companies maybe Simmons had something similar as a demonstration platform.
I wonder where they get the certified tow bar and how legal it is to fit it to a car when the handbook clearly says "not suitable for towing". Or do 4 seaters have a dispensation? If the vehicle isn't certified by the manufacturer there is no way around it. It is quite simply illegal. Get stopped it's 3 points and £100 fine.

3 points and a £100 I could live with, it's the potential affect on liability in the case of an accident that would worry me. The insurance company's lawyers would have a field day, I would think.

Why would you build a car that couldn't tow a trailer?

Could one submit the car for a SVTA with a trailer hitch? If approved then it would be legal.
