Dave,

There was an issue regarding towing with Quad-Ants of both FAT and GS versions. Looking at the War Office Data Book of 1944-45, both of the versions are listed as "Not Recommended" for towing on Normal Roads, Hilly Roads and Cross Country. Possibly down to low powered engine and cable brakes?
