Towing a 2cv on a trailer @ 800Kg approx

What is a good cheap vehicle to use a tow barge?

Volvo 940 is my weapon of choice. I prefer RWD for towing. I also have a Mercedes Sprinter I tow with.

I think it's hard to beat a 940 for cheap. I'd go for a manual 2.3 Turbo, late '95, '96, '97, '98 are the best years.

Buy a big 'nuff Sprinter, and you don't need to tow... (but width through the doors is a problem for any A-series bar a 2cv)

Have to admit - I think if I was towing _regularly_, I'd be looking at a cheap flatbed Transit or similar.

I did that as well, my toys have a tendency to get out of hand :lol: I sold that one though, it was a 308 and a bit gutless, I prefer the big engined turbo intercooler Sprinters.

I did acquire a cheap 2.9 litre flatbed Sprinter the other day, just need to get the welder out and build a beavertail body........
