Towing vehicle V40 vs V70/850 estate

[Ross9]

Tis ok Jim, this is an OLD post I made over a year ago, July 2006 lol.

Just insured the Rover for road use and use road legal cut slicks etc, it's a bit severe as a road car what with 2 seats, harnesses, a bottle of nitrous where the back seats should be, and nothing else in it, but it's all taxed, tested, insured (ouch with all the mods it's £500 with a 1000annual mileage limit) but it's much more fun driving it to events than towing it lol. It's light at 1050kg so if I ever do fancy towing it for whatever reason (down south event and fear of breakage) I'll check and see if the golf's weight is up to it ( I think it's 1400kg), or whack a tow bar on to Jacqs 850 (2.0 20v petrol though, it's thirsty enough as it is without a 1300-1400kg trailer)
