MG MGA - Tow dolly question

Does anyone out in cyber space use a tow dolly with their MGA? If so, can you identify a good brand to buy? I hope to pull the MGA with a Ford Escape rated at 3500 pound capacity. Thanks, Tom

I've towed MGA and MGB on tow dollies many times, no problem. Last time I recall the tow vehicle was a 1990 Chevy Lumina Eurosport, just the family sport sedan with 3.1-Liter V6. No idea what the official towing capacity was, but no problem zipping along the expressway. The tow dolly came from the local tool rental shop.

Thanks, as always to you Barney. Out of curiosity, where are you wintering? Tom

We don't "winter over", we keep moving (but stay pretty much south in cool weather). We were in Florida in late December and all of January. Then in Alabama, Mississippi, Loiuisiana, Texas. We were in Texas and southern Oklahoma on 3/11, Arkansas 3/12, Missouri 3/13, Illinois 3/14-3/20. We came to the Chicago area to help out with the local club swap meet, change the gearbox in my MGA, attend local club meeting and visit a few friends while here.

Heading south again tonight, expecting to be back in Texas by Sunday or Monday to take up where we left off. Spend a couple more weeks in Texas then move west, crawling up the west coast as weather warms up. May be spending some summer time in the Rocky Mountains, up and down the Continental Divide (or there about). Have a pin in Frankenmuth Michigan in June, and another pin in northwest Arkansas in September. Follow our follies at http://MGAguru.com/mobile
