 Re: Tow Vehicle
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.

 Re: Tow Vehicle
I did that as well, my toys have a tendency to get out of hand  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........  toomany2cvs wrote: twofifty AZU wrote: I also have a Mercedes Sprinter I tow with.
