Default Towing an F-Type R

Hello, my name is Harry from Germany i'am willing to buy a F-type R AWD 2015 with rattling noisy engine.
I think it sound like timing chain is rattling.
Anway, is it possible to tow the car without the engine running for about 5 miles?
Engaging the neutral in the centre console via the red strap and delocking the park brake is possible.
Or is there more damage expect to the gearbox without the running engine?

My handbook says "do not tow the vehicle more than 50km and no faster than 50kph". Also, never tow it backwards! Safest to flatbed it, though. Good luck!

There should be a tow hook located near the battery in the trunk in a styrofoam holder. The tow hook screws in behind the small removable panel in the front bumper. Note that if you see two such panels those would be the headlight washers and not the removable panel for the tow hook! The hook is left hand threaded.
