ur just no help sometimes rich :roll: i am trying to keep an earlybayer on the road here

Hi!

There is a really nice 65 Eriba Puck on here for sale at £1895 which i think is cheap, as i have seen one go for over 2K, they are light too at about 500kgs?

I would love one, but no space at home.

I dont know what the towing capacitys of a stock earlybay are, with only 50 bhp or so, pulling the skin of a rice pudding springs to mind............

Put it this way, you aint gonna be going up Porlock Hill with it!

Cheers!

Alistair.

Mines pulled my old skool BMW 5 series which is built like a tank with ease

I would'nt wanna do it for a long trip though :lol:

I pulled an Eriba Puck with mine as well and it was no bother at all. Price wise for a good one around £2000 - £2800, Bug Puck in Belgium is a good source and if they haven't got stock they will hunt one down and give you first option before they post on their own website. Also have a look on the SSVC Forum site as pucks and other small caravans pop up on there from time to time, this was a beauty (If you like that sort of thing :lol: )) that sold recently

you'll be able to tow a small 2 berth caravan ie better still a Puck as mentioned above. Ive towed a car trailer with a Polo on, its was ok, but a bit power lacking up hills etc.

As long as your engine is in good conditon you should be fine.

It was sold as a commerical vehicle so is intend to carry/pull some weight!

NICE!!!!^^^^^

Oldschool caravans all the way, shouldnt have any trouble as most of them are realy light.

This is my 1963 Mostard Yvonne imported from Holland about 3 years ago by http://www.oldscoolcaravans.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; i believe they were called. I was told it weighs 350kg, i reckon its a little more but tows fine.

 

[THE LAST PANZER]

If we can pull this 1961 4-berth Astral with our bug (which we restored), I'm sure you'd be fine with a van :lol:
