I believe the benchmark lowest power tow was by a 1600 VW powered D31
Turbulent, from the Tiger Club at Redhill, UK, in the 1960's. A 15m
Slingsby Dart
was the victim. The tow was never repeated.

Essex & Suffolk GC had an Auster A5J and a Rollason Condor D.62C (130hp).

After a mishap with the Auster, the club acquired another Condor D.62A
