Yeah ..... Haldex and all!! Great for trailering broken down Syncros home !!

Hmmm...think you would exceed the max towing weights there....

Well most standard Syncros weigh less than 1600 kgs and with a trailer to take that would weigh in at about 400 kgs ..... thats within the max towing weight!

Very optimistic on the weights both ways I reckon...

I've just checked my NCT Certs for the Syncro and part of the test results includes the weight figures for the vehicle. On the last cert it gives a weight of 1648kgs. This would have been with very little fuel, no fridge and emptied of all junk as is required by the test. The trailer is a 14' Mulford twin axle two tonne tipping trailer without the winch and floor which has a plated ULW of 450 kg. it's a rally car trailer so is quite light. So I'm only 100 kgs max out on calculation. Sure that's nothing.

Close...light trailer that one however, I used an ifor wills plant trailer to move my pick up and it was just big enough...and I could certainly tell it was there as well!

My empty panel van was 1680 I think on my last scrapyard mission, you got carbon fiber doors on yours?

You sure about this? Not a fibber are you?

Nope, no fibbing
.. but let's say for argument it's first realistic commerical production processes were all British (Morganite, Courtaulds and Rolls Royce)

they call it graphite fiber

we call it carbon fibre
