Hi everyone! Not sure if this is the right place for this but I couldn't find a specific towing area!
I have a car with a 1.6 litre engine which obviously isn't enough to tow my Cob and the trailer. I don't want to change my car because I travel 700km a week and it runs so nicely and cheaply. However, I'm finding it difficult to hire a large SUV with towbar. I was thinking of buying an old land cruiser or similar to tow with just 3-4 times a year for beach rides/summer shows etc. However, I don't want to pay to insure 2 cars (especially something with that big of an engine) when I'll hardly ever use it. Has anyone ever bought a similar vehicle and kept it on private property (so as to avoid taxing it for the year, only the summer when it's in use) and just added it as a temporary vehicle to their full-time car's comprehensive insurance as a temporary vehicle? I will not be partaking in any illegal activities, just a heads up! Thanks a million for any advice/experience!
