Ours towed a large caravan all over the UK & Europe, and was still able to "get a move on" when required, even at just shy of 170,000 miles under it's belt

Still a 3500kg/3.5ton towing capacity
They coped very well though
I guess most of you will have seen footage /read tales of Series Land-Rovers towing buses/wagons that might be 5 tons +?
Discoverys with the MPI engine (for the Italian market) had a towing limit of 2tons
Discovery 2 alloys
There were a few around
I remember seeing (probably that) one around Mirfield a few times, as a magazine journalist who lived there had it for a while (whether owned, or on a long-term test?)

Aye, we used the original Range Rover and the P38 to shift artics off the carriageway. Sure, they'd be in low range and only moving maybe 30 or 40 feet, but they did it. Mind you, so did the Land Cruisers that replaced them.
Useless factoid - for the purposes of clearing a highway obstruction a bobby in uniform can drive any category of vehicle, regardless of whether or not they have the entitlement on their licence.
The Wombles can't.
Saw two idiot Wombles on the M1 yesterday merrily chatting away with thekr backs to the oncoming traffic, but that's for another thread I guess.
