This week we're celebrating the 37th Towcar of the Year Awards. We've seen amazing classic cars over the years so we've created #TCOYallstars to find the ultimate 1980's and 1990's champions. Over the next few days I will be posting 2 cars. Like the post with your favourite and/or comment with your memories of the cars.
If you're on Facebook you can also vote on the Caravan and Motorhome Club page.

Another Tow Car of the Year I have owned. In many ways a brilliant tow car. That suspension was phenomenal. If there was a downside it was the electrics, I towed down to the South of France with the airbag light on! Also didn't help that it went into limp mode on the Brenner Pass!!!
I like this game.

We had the 3.0 Senator excellent car and very very quick but it did like visiting the petrol station. Also had a Peugeot 406 excellent all round car and a good tow car we towed down to Devon with it and various other places no real issues although it was a bit on the light side so close to its tow limit with the van on the back.

Unfortunately tow car of the year (TOY) is merely a snap decision/choice made by a dozen testers with tow cars that have been lent by manufacturers.
If a car maker declined to enter the arena, does that make his vehicle valueless?
I once purchased a TOY feeling safe in that it had been tested by the club. Oh dear! What a mistake.
After 40K miles the engine management system gave up the ghost, the engine misfired terribly, Then after green flag said 'it is safe to continue with your journey' the car only towed another 2 miles before completely breaking down and was subsequently scrapped. Mind you I did get to the holiday site and back home with a tow-car lent by Green Flag.
The moral being - ignore the pundits and go with what you know.
