[Fot] Flat towing a Vitesse

[Paul Smock]

I have towed my street 1962 TR4 with overdrive  over 20,000 miles. Home 
made  tow bar, under 2000 lbs no brakes. I have drained the gearbox, no 
steel on the magnets. The only problem behind the motorhome, hard the 
TRs paint.   It was at the KAS race at Portland Oregon a few years back.
