Best of British tow cars

OK very vaguely related to VMX but I guess if you can afford a CCM you would want this to tow it

18000 miles and 150k .... like discovering a NOS 74 Clews Stroker still in its box

 I have a colour slide of my ol' '52 model Wolsely 6/80 pulling a three-bike trailer loaded up, on the road to Taree Old Bar track.
 I'll figure out how to put it, and other shots on here one day.
 Not quite as classy a tow car as yours Firko but classy anahoo!
 cheers pancho.

The Pom who lent me the bike for Hawkestone Park in 2000 towed the two bikes and all his camping gear with a Reliant 3 wheeler. I'd post a photo if I knew how
