When I was a lad my mates dad stretched his Granada estate by tow a horse box bigger than approved.

taking a guess on your age.....the granada estate when you were a lad would of been a mk1......and i reckon there wasnt a lot holding them together floorpan wise unless it was a newen...they were nicknamed the dagenham dustbin...

A friend made his own tow bar kit for the F for pulling a small trailer, it seems to work quite well.

No, it was a later model and was brand new, he tried claiming on the 12 month warrantee.

And in my corner of the world "Dagenham Dustbin" referred to any car from the Essex factory.

well if someone does get a towbar fitted theres plenty of mg theme trailers to choose from...

I like the trailers made from Top Boxes, look really good. I Made and fitted a tow bar on my 7 Style kit car. Came in very useful. It made not one bit of difference to the way the car drove.
