Because if you had passed after 97 you would be restricted as to how much you could tow to keep under 3500 GTW which could mean that you couldn't use this outfit legally. However as you have the earlier licence you do not have this restriction.

Have discovery 3 at present. Just looking at a change to be honest! just thought one of these audi's might have been upto the job. Dont think it will happen till caravan reduces in size tho!

 

Once again thanks folks.
