Thanks Michael:

Here's a link to the site showing my question and the responses: =
https://www.celicasupra.com/threads/flat-towing-question.120149/
The answer is still a mystery to me, and no opinion seems to be based =
upon empiric evidence but rather "generally accepted wisdom".
=20
I have a really cool tow rig that attaches to a set of the usual tow =
eyes that bolt to the longitudinal frame members. I've never towed my =
Healey much further than 50-75 miles and the car tracks wonderfully with =
the steering following along nicely, though one can only tow in a =
forward direction.
=20
I'd love to have a definitive answer!

I need to tow my Austin-Healey with W58 for about 300 miles [Las Vegas =
to Los Angeles].

For those of you who don=E2=80=99t actually know and want to speculate: =
Yes, I do know I could jack up the car, disconnect the drive shaft, =
secure the shaft in a way it doesn=E2=80=99t let the fluid leak out nor =
fall off the car, and then repeat in the business lot where I am =
delivering the car.
