Tow bar and capacity

[MYTA21]

Many thanks Claude. It is as I suspected, ie not sounding advisable and a
pity to spoil a good car.

I made several inquiries about this issue previously, including of Brian Marelli. BCL have towbar (or design) for these cars which uses a plate for the boot floor and attaches to the rear bumper irons. This would work for a garden trailer (no more than 300kg, if that). What is clear is that the lack of any load bearing structure behind the rear axle means that the prospect of using my 411 to tow a Alfasud race car on a single axle transporter (1100 kg) was completely out of the question. I bought a series 1 Land Rover Discovery instead. Bristols are not suitable as tow cars.
