It is a bit of an anachronism but I guess it is perhaps that they only want people who are like them

Like that a lot. Could do with an Audi Sport badge in the grill instead of the AA one though! That’s a bit grandad….

A fair bit more than a Transit should be towing I would say, especially with that heavy trailer!

I would say the tranny can tow 2 tonnes, the Bentley probably a good 2 tonnes on its own, the trailer prob 800-850 kgs I would say…reckon getting on for 50% more than allowed.

Put it this way, what is behind the tow ball weighs a good deal more than what is in front of it!
