Yes and no.
Yes, if it's on a trailer and the trailer/Mini is within the tow limit of the Zafira.
Yes if you're using a tow rope, A-frame or tow-pole and the Mini is fully road legal, and it's for recovery to a safe place only.
No, if the Mini isn't road legal and any of the wheels are touching the road.
No, if it's on a trailer but the trailer is plated at more then the weight the Zafira can tow regardless of what the Mini weighs..
etc, etc....

Can you tow a mini?
Yes.
Is it legal?
Depends on many things
Are you likely to get done?
Probably not, as long as you not going from one end of the country to another
Does it have a towing eye?
Depends if it's rusted off or not

How do you 'toe' a Mini? Also, how many 'toes' are on the 'toeing bar'? Is there 10 like on the average pair of
feet?

You could tow a Mini with a towing bar if it had a towing eye but IIRC Mini's didn't have one as standard making attaching the bar
difficult. It is possible to replace the front subframe mounting bolts with an "eye bolt" but you would only be able to use an 8mm
threaded one

A fair point! I just assumed (like I think everyone else here did) that it's classic Mini but it could be the BMW MINI.
Classics do not have a towing eye, & the A frames I've used mabye would'nt be easy to hook up to the suspension arms as a Mini uses
track control arms & forward mounted tie rods which are pretty easy to bend.

Well "toeing it" as I understand it would involve pushing the right hand pedal as for as it goes!
