The roof rack would have limited top speed. In the 60s my Seven would romp past heavy trucks on long hills. Maybe 90 hp for 10 tons.

What a great photo. Very optimistic even by my standards!

Mine, too. I've towed some crazy loads behind light cars but even I would baulk at that one - except for a big bet.
I once dispatched a chap to collect a 3/4-ton milling machine. Did he take the heavy trailer? No, he took the East German-made 400 kg job (lighter, innit, mate). He nearly made it back, stopped only by the wheels - made as two pressings spot-welded together - both peeled apart at 2 am on the A6 just outside Buxton. Fortunately, the wheels on my camping trailer fitted, so he was rescued before plod arrived.
