'dingov70' is spot on, 'grumpydad'. For that distance, I'd definitely use a trailer.

In extremis, I believe you could tow a 140 for up to 20 miles at no more than 20 MPH, but that was obviously as a last resort to either move the car out of danger or get it a very short distance home. More than that and removal of the propshaft was recommended - but that was 40 years ago!

Another option today might be a suspended tow, with the rear wheels suspended, but mindful of any legal restrictions that may apply as 'dingov70' advises.

Regards, John.
