I was thinking there were quite a few worrying things about that shot, the 2 wheel trailer being the second of them. The third is that I don't recall the SWB Trannies to be very weighty nor that good for towing. I seem to remember trying to to use one to tow a Renault 5 from Cambridge to Croft and gave up after about 5 miles abandoning the tranny and trailer in a hotel car park and driving up in the R5. At anything over about 30 mph the whole thing tried to wobble off the road.
I can't imagine what it would have been like with an E-type on the back. Note how much lift there is on the front axle in the photo. Must've been a publicity shot to get some exposure - which it certainly did by the looks of it!
So what's the story?
