It is indeed the LWB version and I may be asking Martin Donnelly where he got his trailer from. If this couldn't tow the Beat, nothing could! Problem is, I can just about fit the Jag in the drive, but where would I keep the trailer? (answers on a fag packet to...).

I may be available in the future for weddings and bar-mitzvas!

Looks like you could put the trailer on the back seat...:p

Although you might want a set of seat covers fitted first...

You could always leave the beat on the trailer and back it into the garage still on the back...

It's original fit - came with the car. When we got the Beat it had pretty much all the extras fitted.

Mind you, 5Kg isn't much load capacity - that's like 2.5 bags of sugar! It's the size of the bolt shanks apparently. Thicker shanks would allow greater load capacity, but I never got round to that.
