Well I would say that if 1168 is the kerb weight of the car, and 1100 is the MTPLM of the van, and you have towed before, and Ford's Max. towing limit for the car is 1100 kg or more, you should be OK.
Good luck and enjoy.

What I should also have said is, if you are hoping for more than one response on this forum, don't hold your breath. Instead, try another forum, I am told that for tuggers, the Caravan Club forum is quite active.
Good luck.
