Stiggles dont know if this will help

They have a second hand one here  it shows the weight as 1122 so your 1400 car will be plenty enough

What year is it?  We have a 1996 Buccaneer Elan 15 EL. 

The Explorer Group site has archives which might help you.

They date back to 1993.

Looks ok to me ( depending on what power your car is though ) 21,50 cwt = 1092.2 kg   , You recommended maximum 85% towing weight would be 1190 kg and you'll be 98 kg within this .
