Thanks Neil and Lena, encouraging words, although as I said it does include full tank and spare wheel......

 

 

 



Your supposed to include a nearly full fuel tank and spare wheel in the kerbweight so the accord Tourer is pretty good match for the Bailey at 88%

We had a test tow this morning and it towed really well.  The noseweight with a lightweight gas bottle in was well under 75kg....  so we paid the deposit and collect it towards the end of June!!!  Argh, I cna't believe it. 
Thank you for your help everyone, very much appreciated. No doubt I will be back with plenty more questions soon!
