hi guys, i know this has been covered hundreds of times but i cannot seem to make sense of it .

im looking for a tow car trailer combo that i can tow my race car, i passed in 2002 so i dont have the trailer entitlment on my licence.

now the car ill be towing in question is a ford puma, its very light, has no door inners, boot or bonnet strenghening , no lights, no interior other than a lightweight cage and a kirkey alloy seat and is running a 1.6 cvh lump, other than that there isnt much else, no alternator, heaters, glass at all im guesiing the weight to be around the 700-800kg.

now i have the use of a trailer thats plated as 1600kg

so can i use a tdci mondeo estate to tow with ?

if not... will i be able to use a different trailer (will need to be twin wheeled)

thanks guys

 

kerb weight is 1547

Also, will you have to take the test then?

still non the wiser , cheers for your help tho,

one minute i think ive got the understanding of it , then i read something else and im back to square one lol

 

from what i can gather the mondeo's towing limit is 1800kg (the trailer max weight is 1600)

the mondeo weighs 1547

1547+1800 =3347 so i should be under ... correct?

 

Just do the test to be safe as it would be hard work trying to explain it to a copper on side off road I would imagine!
