Good evening.
Am hoping to buy another breaker 106 gti but it has no mot,tax and won't be insured. Can I just tow it back on a rigid bar? As I don't really want to pay for a tow truck?

Use a proper towing bar or an A frame if u can can get one that way u don't need anybody to sit in the car being towed

The car is 2 hours away, tow truck is a little expensive.

2 hours is a long way to tow a car like that...
