Would a VX Frontera be out of the question?? 
I quite like them & the izuzu engined one is meant to be alright

no chance on frontera....
Pajero or Navara....
Navara is much much newer.
Cupra Steve - you're not quite in the right frame of mind here.  a 2.5 TT car isnt really fitting the bill.
Steve - no chance on 10k Warrior.

i'm looking for something that CAN tow the skyline and heavy trailor.... not will HAVE TO TOW IT EVERYWHERE.
Those cars would be ideal if they were just to tow. But i doubt they'd be as much fun as a SWB shogun, or warrior/navara pickup thingy

I dont think any of whats been suggested will be much of a drivers car
Why not get a ford transit for £1k just for towing & use the porsche more for fun driving?

not wanting the porsche to sit around outside the flat.....
Too much of a snob own a transit
Need a car to tow, and run around in..... hence - do what both Impreza and Range Rover does.
I think keeping the Range Rover would be most sensible, or trading it for an LPG converted one. BUT ladt FEE doesnt concur. If i sell the Impreza i MUST sell the range rover, even if it defies logic!

The impreza is being sold to fund a deposit for another flat
and if it was kept I would allow it to be used for towing

 well sell some of your collectors garage
yeah i guess 10k is a little bit of a push for what your needing it for.
There are some older L200's that arent Warrior's.. you can pick em up for £4k (ish)

do you know anything about towing???
a 2dr lightweight impreza towing a 1350kg car along with a large heavy trailer?
The impreza would be all over the shop, the clutch would die..... the car would not cope full stop.
