When I had my first caravan, a Ci Sprite Major almost 30 years ago I towed it with the SD1 Vitesse.
When I did the resto on the Vitesse I removed the tow bar as I did a custom rear end with duplex exhaust.
The Vitesse was a great tow car and was a manual but had loads of torque from its V8 engine. I remember taking a round a bout in 5th gear going all the way round (3rd exit) and pulling away with ease. On the motorway you only had to drop to 4th gear on a few occasions.
My main tow car is now the XF and it's the best tow car I've had by far as it has twin turbos which keep it "whistling" along. You have to be careful not to overspeed though.
