We’re working on turning this $2000 van into a do-it-all machine that can tow a car to the track, then serve as a mobile workshop and hotel room for the weekend.

Every tow vehicle needs a front hitch, and fortunately they're super easy to add. Odds are if there's a bolt-on rear hitch available, there's one for the front, too. …

You can go old school and use the hitch to mount the spare tire up front too. Bonus points for a cool 70s van tire cover.

It's nice of GRM to help two older British cars mate. I am sure they appreciated the privacy of your new trailer also. The front trailer hitch was indeed very useful to erect the old triumph. Keep us posted with any developments.

I'm waiting for the van episode, "Installation of transfer case and front diff."
