how much can a landy pull?

I didnt realise until the other day after your 70th birthday you apparently lose your right to drive up to 7.5 ton on a std car licence?

Thanks for this, i wasn't sure on the specifics and i might end up towing my mums morris with my series if she's not up to driving it home.

So Series being 1340kg + Morris at 780kg = Plenty of weight left for a trailer.

Be careful. These weights are usually the MAM and GTW, not just actual weights.

Okay, duly noted, I can't imagine an old morris 8 and a series 2a would be over a combined 3500kg though?

That’s what I’m trying to say. It’s not how much it weighs, it’s the MAM (Maximum Authorised Mass) and GTW (Gross Train Weight) that will be the issue.

For instance, if you passed your test after 2013 and, if the series has an authorised max of 2000kg, it can only pull a trailer rated at 1500kg.

If you passed before 1997, it shouldn’t be an issue.

I passed early 2014 unfortunately.

In that case, I think you will struggle to tow anything really.

Do you know the weight and MAM of the series?
