There will be a tow eye in the boot which you screw into the front somewhere.

If it's an old one, loop a rope around the tie bar, there is no towing point.

OMG don't mention towing a mini to Colin......

He had a rather bad experience last time, my mum was towing us and we were at her mercy!! She's rather heavy on the pedals, she pulled out onto a main road screaching round a bend, we were bouncing all over the road!!

PS no idea where you attach the rope
