Hi to all,
I've drawn a blank searching for a towbar for my 1999 Cabriolet. Is there something that I am missing? I'm starting to believe that they don't exist. That said, I have found a Dutch website that says it has one, but it is two to three times more expensive than all the others! Grateful for any advice. Thanks.

Thanks Dale. I tried them but life is never easy. My Cab was registered after 1998 so it requires an EU Type approved bar. The Watling item is non-approved and it looks like nobody has bothered to make an approved one. The woman at Watling was very professional and stressed that it would invalidate my insurance if I were to fit a non-approved bar.
In some ways, I am quite glad because I didn't want to spoil the shape with a ball. I shall just have to travel light. After all, "difficult" is not "impossible". I shall manage!
Thanks again.
