Phill, as you will know that is a French car and I believe the German authorities also allow this no matter the age of the (Morgan) vehicle as the trailed item also has to have an MOT.
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.
In Germany a tow bar has to be TÜV approved. Than the weight of the Morgan and other facts (trailer with/ without brakes ets.) decide on the weight that can be drawn.

Maybe this combo for your Morgan, you might be able to fit a bar legally on yours Tim ? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/02/04/146431241_2814237312157590_3131096811356407134_n.jpg) . I had this setup with a microlight caravan, hated towing the thing with the +8 . still got it makes a great garden shed. Morgan type approval for tow bars run out about 2007.
.+8 Now gone for a 1800 4/4. Duratec in bright yellow.

Seems most standard fitters won't do them, Witter etc, but there is a place in Leicester I think, only for the Plus8. On reflection, tenting is preferable, if hotel unavailable! On a cross thread, I'm very happy to have got the MSCC membership discount for Silverstone Classic; worth 2 yrs subs plus 👍. And 2 individual pop up tents might just fit in the spare wheel well....
