Stag. I often see it. Brave using a car that old in this damp climate but there you go.

the tow ball on the rear seems ambitious also

No video of it in motion.

(Checks for obligatory puddle of coolant underneath)

The Aldi parking lots I’m familiar with are usually populated by ‘ 90s Camrys and mid ‘ 00s Chrysler 300s with cloudy headlights and lots of body damage.

Not really, I took that picture from a 1.0 Focus with a tow bar. Yes, it’s used to haul a small trailer which it does perfectly well. The Stag is a 3 litre.

This isn't the US, they have different towing regulations over there, Stags have definitely done tow duty on more than one occasion

It just depends what you are towing. I once towed two boa ts with a car that had a 1015cc air-cooled engine. Some people fit tow bars just so they can mount a bicycle carrier.

Originally. Lots of them had engine swaps. I believe the Rover 3.5 [the engine that it shoul d have been fitted with when new] was a popular swap at one time. I have seen one with some kind of American iron in there. The owner didn’t realize that it wasn’t original.

I don’t have a Stag, but I have always lusted after them. The nearest I got was driving a Triumph 2.5PI at high speed between two Lucas sites.
