Towing car

[Geese]

Hi guys, I'll be selling my 5 soon (sadly) cause I'm taking up motor racing.

I'm looking for a car capable of towing a car+trailer. If anyone know someone who is selling a cheap car please give me a shout on 1122334@gmail.com or 08634780875

Pity no-one has a W123 station wagon for sale... <cough>

I'm racing an.... UNO.

actually Frank. You have an old merc don't ya?

I was looking at 93-97 c class mercs... What are they like?

I don't want to get something really boring. If I can't have performance i'll settle for luxury.

so far I've been looking at
C class
Accord
3 series.

I did have an old CE coupe - the W124 denomination ('88 to '94). Totally loved it.

I would highly recommend a W124 - best car BMW ever made.

The C-class is fine, but the E-class of that vintage, especially around '99 to '01 has notorious rust problems so you'd need to be sure the C-class doesn't have the same. Something to do with the new formula of paint MB decided to use.

Steve has a W123 estate, which is the '80s model E-class.

Alas I can't insure anything that's over 15 years....

And not looking to pay ridiculous road tax either

spotted this.. the interior is a bit crappy but I suppose it'll do

Does it have NCT or tax?
Or more importantly... a tow bar?

EH, NO NO AND NO........BUT LOVELY CUDDLY BACK SEATS.

worth sticking the rover in for an nct test and if theres too much to do forget it but if you're lucky you could have 2yrs cheap motoring. towbars can be picked up cheaply on e bay or in scrap yards especially in norn iron where rovers were fairly popular.
