pardon me if im wrong but i thought that you had to have a bar not a rope no matter what kinda road it is??

But anyway you will need to tow it with a car that weighs more than it.. it should say in the owners handbook whats the most you can tow.

oh and it must have road legal tyres (same as a trailer wud hav2)

Do you have a mate who works in an mot station anywhere? if you get pulled, you can say you taking it to joe bloggs motors for its mot. if he fones up ur mate could confirm it...

the law hasnt been changed yet on towing with a rope or the other way off doing it is book the car in for a mot at somewere nere to were you live then if you drive the car and get pulled you are legal to drive it to the mot station i work in a mot station and i do it all the time
