Hi,
Looks like fun! The 20mpg would smart, but I guess the aerodynamics and weight are a little worse with the caravan on the back.... sometimes its nice to hear the V6 working hard for its living since it sounds so good.
Your car looks in great condition, and surely a V plate would be one of the last mini-facelifts?
One question; I notice your car has a small black spoiler under the front bumper that my car ('98 elite) doesn't - should mine have had one or was it only fitted to later models? And if so can you fit them to earlier cars? And if so does anyone have one spare?
Cheers 
20mpg when pulling 1600kgs @ 55-60 mph is pretty good, the old scorpio only got around 15mpg !! Normal solo driving I get around 28-35mpg depending on how I drive it !!
As to the mini-face lift/ spoiler questions I'm afraid I have no idea ... only a new member to the site and I didn't even know there were such things as mini or full facelifts until a few weeks back !! I'm sure one of the experts I keep asking for info from can answer you accurately.
I am truly amazed at 2 things .....
1. How little I knew about this car
2. How much info is readily available on this site
This means I am about to dig out the old toolbox and start actually doing my own work.. just as I used to in the cortina/MGB days.. I was under the misconception that you could not DIY on a car like this without zillions of specalist tools and equipment ...so I have been paying garage bills with some annoyance... that stops now !!! ( unfortunately for the resident experts.. this means loads of probably inane questions !! )
1. Yes its a mini face lift model
2. The black spoiler should be on your model but most get knock off hitting curb's.
We are driving down to Brittany in October for a chill out week. We have rented a cottage by the sea,I drive a lorry all week, so pulling a trailer on my days off are a NO NO.
