Does anyone in my area (near chesterfield) happen to have a recovery truck or a car trailer and tow vehicle that could cope with a 101, they could put to some use for me for a morning sometime?  Some beer tokens may be exchange.

Cheers

Chris

Does it roll, i.e. would a good tow vehicle do on it's own without a trailer?

Cheers Dom.

Tim it rolls and it's not too far away but I don't have a solid draw bar and there's too many hills between here and there to think about it on a strop.  Plus I don't have a tow bar on our truck.

Hi Chris
Buy yourself a solid draw/tow bar, they're cheap enough & always handy to have.

Don't think the AA man would fall for the it broke down trick, it's got no engine or box in it. No MOT it's not even been registered.

Would do the drawbar thing but I don't have a towbar on my truck to use it with.  

I think I'll be taking up Doms kind offer of using his trailer as he lives quite nearby, just got to get mine sorted again and see if it fits on his trailer.  Does anyone have a V8 carb inlet manifold sitting around the place they don't want anymore?
