Towbar for Renault Megane 1 soft top?

[babydriver]

I have been looking for a towbar for my new toy as I can't get pallets in this one (its too nice) and according to the interweb there is not one, How much is likely to be different on the underside rear of the saloon/hatch/coupe/converible?

I had the silly idea of getting a small trailer to cart wood for my stove.

It's very likely the manufacturer never intended it for towing.

Since 1998, which may or may not include yours, cars are Homologated or some such word, for towbars, or not as the manufacturer sees fit.

If not on the list no reputable company will fit one. You can tell on the VIN plate as well but I'd have to look up how.

If you find an un-reputable company, it's very likely your insurance will be invalid.

if you cant find a towbar for it i take its not type approved then, a lot of cars didnt get type approved eg mondeo st220

 

heres a guide telling you what type approval is

Renault certainly did one for it, we used to have the coupe version and saw a genuine Renault towbar for the soft top at a decent price, but were informed it didn't fit the coupe.

Be careful about which engine it was designed for. A Mondeo 1.8 can be fitted with a tow bar, an ST220 cannot.
