As I contemplate changing my shopper for something which can tow a caravan (to race meets/F.O.S.)I came across what surely must be the smallest mobile home in the world.

This got me thinking about towing this little bean can behind my Griff . Has anyone towed anything behind a TVR?

This bean can wieghs in at a gross of 650kg and could be towed with Ford Fiesta and the like apparently.

In truth the likelyhood of me towing with 'Grimbo'is extremely remote but the question remains.

The bean can is a very well built bit of kit called Eriba Touring Puck (honest) I may buy one.

Could be interesting if the back-end steps out

Personally speaking, I'd cringe if I saw a Griff even with a tow-bar, regardless of whether it was actually towing something.

And those stoopid stick-on extra-wide caravan mirrors would hinder aerodynamics somewhat

Steve Heath tows a small trailer with tyres and spares behind his wedge, and I know somebody who tows a single seater in a trailer behind a wedge. Obviously it is possible, don't suppose it would be much fun as a tow car though.

Yep, that bean can you popped up ATG looks like it, except the one I contemplated is smaller, I kid you not
