Yantorsen, there's nothing wrong with not knowing a lot about a certain subject. However there is something massively wrong with pretending to know about something that you clearly do not have any understanding of. Just give it a bloody rest.

I'm not wrong!
Google was not wrong on this occasion.
If an A bar is used, the towed vehicle becomes a trailer, and doesn't need tax, mot or insurance.
The the lead vehicle must be insured for towing and you have the problem of weight - if the combined weight is more than the driver is licensed to drive, he cannot use this method.
If the car is towed by rope, then the usual rules of the road apply - must be taxed, mot'd and insured - unless it is being towed to a pre-booked MOT test or to a garage to have the work necessary to pass the MOT. And the driver will have to be licensed.
Google came up with this:

If the vehicle is not taxed and is not on its way to or from a pre arranged appointment at an MOT testing station then all 4 wheels must be off the road. The vehicle is a trailer but is also still a vehicle and must be taxed and insured if it is on the road.
So you could in theory. You could also take things out of the car to save weight and put them in the towing car, since you'd be doing major mods to get an A frame on it anyway. If you just needed to get a car somewhere as cheap as possible you might do it, still probably wouldn't though.
Also, if you had a licence for driving heavier trailers could you not tow it? Such as a articulated lorry license or something? I don't know the answer to that.
I'm not saying it's something I'd do, certainly not for long journeys. But statistically if you are just popping up the road to the shops you are unlikely to have an accident.
if you're going to get a classic open top sports car, as suggested above, a Triumph Spitfire would be cheaper than an MG B/Midget.
I'd go for an Elise. But I agree with most what has been said. I just prefer the Elise though, it's British, looks better, and generally goes better. It might not be quite as comfortable, but from my experience as a passenger in them, they are perfectly comfortable in my opinion, just not as luxurious as the Audi.
If you shop around and choose the right car you can still get quotes under £1k. Try Adrian Flux young drivers policy.
Also have you tried fronting?
A bar doesn't have to be just a bar, even though that is what the name implies.
No, you just use a trailer with brakes, where the car is off the ground completely, this is how you transport a vehicle. Not your ***** way with dodgy welded A-Frames and taking weight out of a car.
Give it a rest Yantorsen or no one will take you seriously ever again.
So you could in theory.

No, because its an UNBRAKED trailer. Lorry trailers are BRAKED.
I didn't say a tow bar, I said an A-bar. It's what we call a frames where I come from.
You could just connect the breaks on the towed car up to the towing car. Like we do with our caravan, although of course it'd be more complicated because it's not made for doing that.
Where do you come from exactly?
And how the hell could you do that?
Yet again proving you know sod all.
Of course you could, you can do it with any lightweight car. Just because you say there isn't any car in production now under 750KG doesn't mean they don't exist.
