My fat-assed Syncro weighed 1060kg in 8V spec.  Might weight another 10-20kg now it's got more valves.

Trailer weighs approx 400kg, but it's a lightweight one.

Is your trailer a home made one or brought?

I've been looking at these Brian James ones, but it doesn't tell you the weight of the trailer.

IIRC the Brian james weights are in the brochures online somewhere.

Indeed.

I am SO wishing I took that legendary photo in December.  He keeps promising it, but never delivers!

Found out the clubman 1350 weighs about 450kg, so with the mk2 on there, should be able to get a mk 4 GT TDI to tow it :smiley:
