[Barry Cade]

First day in the new job, and have been tasked with clearing out an outbuilding which is to be my domain. Years and years of caravan and towbar related stuff in there.. I made a start on the towbars- all New/boxes very tatty and mouse eaten but complete bars ready to fit. All made by Witter.

 

Here is the list so far:

Put me down for a Citroen GS towbar if you find one.

 

Might be persuaded to take the Volvo 300 one if it's deffo the hatch one

[Pillock]

How much of a masochist do you have to be to tow with a MK1 Fiesta, or a Serena?

[bub2006]

I tow with a c2 1.1. I'm in no place to comment

[Rod/b]

"Looks like the back end of a bus"

[sierraman]

Is the c2 actually type approved for towing?

[djimbob]

if by some miracle you come across a towbar for a Kia Magentis 2001, a Kia Sedona 2004, or a Saab 900 '94, then by all means give me a shout

[somewhatfoolish]

Pics plz of Landrover shite, especially the 1950.

[DVee8]

Would the serena be the same as a vanette?

[bub2006]

Is the c2 actually type approved for towing?

Yes it is. Admittedly it can't tow a great deal but it can legally tow what I need it to. Also the towbar is a proper c2 towbar made by witter and not a homemade job. It also has pre made threaded holes in rear legs under boot floor so was also easy to fit.

They're in another shed somewhere, the old one haz Perkins I'm told.

I think I did see GM Saab 900 bar, but not complete.

Volvo 340 bar is for the hatch.

[Barry Cade]

Would the serena be the same as a vanette?

Looks like they are.

[hpi_matrix]

Skoda Felicia Estate towbar if you have one pleased, the ideal birthday gift for the old man

[richardmorris]

That's the worst TR7 I've ever seen!

[eddyramrod]

All those towbars and not one to fit my fleet!  If you find one that does, count me in please!

1973 Cadillac Coupe deVille (yeah, ten a penny they are!)

2007 Chevrolet (Daewoo) Tacuma

1989 Rover 213 (SD3)

I would think the Tacuma and Rover should be easier to find, the eclectic selection suggests that they may yet appear.

[mercrocker]

I am sure you have plenty to do with a new job and all but if you do trip over a 190E W201 Merc bar I shall be very interested!

[Barry Cade]

Last one I found today was a W123.. there are more to go!

My incoming gsa has a towbar, if it looks like it will come of without taking the rest of the car with it, consider it yours.

Bolted straight to the valance for maximum 80s WCPGW.

I'll check how different the rear is/isn't bearing in mind this cat-flap version of mine takes the bumper up with it. Is it flanged?

[For Fiats Sake]

If you find any aftermarket sunroof kits in there I could give one or two a home!

[Barry Cade]

. Is it flanged?

[sutty2006]

Keep your eyes pealed for a retro wind slammer....... always wanted one for some strange reason.

[meshking]

If you find one suitable for a p38 of 1996 vintage I'd be interested..

On the (very unlikely) chance you come across one for an N16 almera I'll have it - those caravan rear panels will sell easily enough to a caravan body shop - somewhere like Campbell's et al.

In fact a lot of the caravan specific stuff should sell to a body shop pretty easily really (as its expensive stuff) - may be worth having a look in the yellow pages and then phoning a couple to see if they want to give you a price & shift it all for you.

 

Im tempted to buy one of the LR 90 tow bars, just because.

How much and how much shipping?

Me too. massive want for a windslammer.

[HillmanImp]

One part of my mind is telling me that I should get the Visa towbar as I have a Visa but another is pointing out that I will never tow anything with it.

 

However, the slightly cleverer part of my head is not up for petty bickering and is suggesting as I write this, that I could put my bikes on one of those clever tow bar carriers. 

 

How much are these fine accessories?

[bub2006]

Towbar mounted bike racks are great. I've a fold up one that was bought last year. Only cost 20 quid new.

I had a towbar on my 1300 super sport fiesta, 3 adults and kit with 3 trials bikes on the trailer used to work out to average 18mpg. The clutch cried enough when trying to shift a broken down Fergy tractor though.
