Can you work out which car??
hmm friend had one for a few years the short wheel base pre face lift, the only thing done or wrong with it was the rear diff seal started to leak

Due to your young age you are going to need a trailer test to tow your horse box, the trailer and burple are ok, provided you get the right weight of car.
Something Vectra sized is where you need to be and all 'modern' vehicles are not easy to repair. They are designed to be easy to put together, not easy to take to bits.
Very non Fiat, but something like a Forester (Turbo if you want to go really quick), fits that balance between 4x4 and not too heavy. I know your dad's kinda exploded, but a full service history and preventative maintenance does allow these to do astronomical mileages.
Non turbo's are dead easy to work on, turbos a little more difficult, but not impossible, not that I am volunteering.

Have a look here all the models click on more info see how fst , what they can tow, how many mpg. http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Summary.aspx?model=1178
Would really need to be the 5 cylinder Diesel which you would struggle to get for less than £5K with less than 50K miles.
Remember this is a Focus in drag.

hummer might be slow but she would not need to stop / slow down until she runs out of fuel
maybe some one needs to explain that it don't have to be that low in miles if its a deisel :idea:
i woulda suggested a vw toureg for sheer pulling power but youd never get one under 5K

Why the diesel?
Ooo didnt know it was a focus in drag, what does that mean to the car? ie less reliable etc?
Focus and hence the S40 are basically reliable. You need the diesel for the towing capacity.
