that looks like a spartan, funily enought the one i had had a tow bar fitted too.
I thought it looked more like a Marlin.

It's a marlin I doubt that's legal weight wise
What does the plate reveal on DVLA?
I dont know.
How so I check?
Years ago 1970s? there was a caravan that could be towed by a mini.
A proper one too, not a folding one or teardrop trailer.
Actually 1960s:

lets report him to the police, that'll learn him.............
leave the poor s*d alone, he obviously has enough misery in his life as he seems to own both a Marlin AND a trailer tent

Do the "new" rules apply? Certainly the ones regarding Type Approval of towbars don't appear to. I checked into it and it seems that
only type approved vehicles require type approved towbars.
Not a caravan, but I did get a few looks towing a trailer load of rubbish into the local tip with the Robin Hood 
It was temporarily the only car I
had with a towbar.

And nobody else to share his "experience" with!
If you look at it another way the guy has built himself a car (may have built himself a trailer tent too for all we know), negotiated a weekend pass
from the wife and kids and is out on the open road. He's equipped himself for the weekend and is towing the tent to a nice little campsite in
rural wales.
When he gets there he' got accommodation and the freedom to head out and enjoy the Welsh twisties in his little car. He'll be stopping at a
nice little inn for a bite to eat and a local ale, then back to the tent for a campfire and a couple more beers.
There'll be no phone signal so he doesn't have to check in with the wife either 
Sounds alright to me!

I need you to write me an ebay ad.
You've just sold me on Marlins and trailer tents.
This is my TR1KE towing my custom built Teardrop
That is rather cool
