Our first caravan was a 1960s Ace, glass windows, 10 feet, 4 berth. We didn't know about checking weights etc then, but it was towed easily (even in North Wales up the mountain roads and on windy motorways with no stabiliser) by a 1985 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6 estate.

I don't know the weight of your little Astral Scout, but I can't imagine that it would be any more than 700 Kgs and your Lanos should handle it easily. 

I've just looked it up in Glasses Guide, the Astral Scout 1050T seems to have only been made up to 74, in 75 it became the 1000S and shorter at 10.25ft long.

Shame is no weights qouted in these days, don't suppose it was that important, most would be very light with little in the way of creature comforts?! It's also highly unlikely to weigh what it did originally for the same reason

In 74 it cost a lowly £637 new!
