doesn't tow any thing very fast but great fun, cheap & reliable, and it keeps the miles off the Lex

Mine has a towbar fitted-previous owner used to tow a tiny single wheel trailor and a light dinghy type thing on occasions - no autobox cooler fitted as far as im aware though - i havent towed anything with it at all but i used to have burger vans in the past and these i believe fully laden would count as being quite heavy-got the opposite lock rreversing and pinpoint placing down to a fine art by the time i sold up - dirty harry is yours manual or auto - i found a manual car best for towing by miles

Cheers mate - im not overly attached to it if youll excuse the pun and really so far have only found it comes in handy as a "parking distance control" device in a crude but effective way - if by any chance you have trouble finding one let me know and ill have a chat with the wife as to if you could have ours
