I have heard all the arguments about legalities of a tow car etc.
My understanding of it is this, when being towed the car is no longer a car and becomes a trailer instead. Trailers over 750KG legally require their own braking system, which operates on their wheels to comply with the law.
Smart-Tow have develloped a system which energises the brakes on the tow car and when needed, the car brakes operate. They are not operating on a dead pedal like other systems.
This system is in excess of £2000 to have installed. Plenty of information and some videos here on their website:-

My Hyundai i10 was first registered in 2010. It is the Comfort model, 80bhp, 5 speed, 5 door, 4 X electric windows, ABS, ice cold aircon, Remote central locking. The car has only covered 20800 miles. It has had 4 new all season tyres fitted within the last couple of hundred miles, returns almost 50mpg and is only £30 a year to tax. Major service carried out 1000 miles ago. The car needs nothing.
We have towed the car from Belfast to Co Clare and also taken it to France. Apart from those 2 trips it hasn't been used by us for motorhoming and is therefore the family runabout, which has been used daily for school runs and to take the wife her 2 mile commute to work.
I'm going to put it up here at £4000 firm first. If it doesn't sell here it will then be advertised nationally, but the price will be £4750.....
Cherished number plate not included in the sale, she will revert to the IIG number as in some of the images
Car is located in County Antrim. It is in great condition and reflects the mere 20,000 miles.
