There has always been a question on the later ones even being legal at all as they have hydraulic over run brakes. Never heard of anyone being stopped because of it though.

has a fixed towbar, with a bolt on towball/pin which I use for the twin axle agricultural trailer.
yep thats about it ,, they are a dog of a thing always were , and Ive seen a few of them in my time , loaded a few and unloaded a few more .
They do look cute behind a land rover though , thats the big bonus , ... they vanish behind a tonner though then its very easy to forget they are there , and that leads to problems too ,,,
civi life , far better with an Ifor or the likes . Brian James if youve cash to spare.

I'll bear it in mind and see what he says.
What's the size difference between narrow track + wide track?

I’d happily tow an NT, ideal camping trailer and capable of being towed off-road
not with a volvo ...
Imagine one behind a four toner ,,,They are also a total mare to reverse behind a Land Rover as by the time you can see them you've already jack knifed

I bought my towbar second hand, and fitted it myself - made by witter (i think), so not OEM

Mine's detachable.
But not since I stuck it on.
Bit lost on me detachable two bars.

They still hold their money but wide tracks had gone but I guess that market has gone down since they released hundreds of reserve stock Pennmans. I watched the first batches go through Brightwells, people paying £900 and then listing them on ebay for £1300. They had no idea Brightwells had literally hundreds of them comming. I think they got as low as £4-500.
About 12-13 years a go they had a hand full of wide tracks at Brightwells, my mate who is into militray Land Rovers was with me and said nobody wanted them. They made £100 each and they gave the option so if there were 3-4 in a row you buy all of them. A year or so later he bought one for £650. I still give him abuse about it now.

If it’s been sat 20 years it’s unlikely. If it is a wide track the prices vary. Wheel track is 1.33m on a narrow track

It *looks* like it's been sat 20 years - might be five years (although I doubt it - and if it is, it belongs to the son, and he'll know how much they're worth)
