View Full Version : Covert "towbars"

Hi,

My C70 has a covert towing device.

I call it this because it has the connector bits, and and a "bar" bit I assume I clunk in to tow things.

But my question is - what can it actually tow?

It was on the car when I acquired it, and I've been holding off the jibes from my mates by telling everyone I use it to tow my private yacht.

However, I live in a terraced house near Nottingham, henceforth the yacht excuse is wearing thin.

How much are these "covert towbars" worth? I don't need, or want it really, unless I can find a better use for it than arguing it as a prop for a new comeback series of "Howards Way".

Or should put some stickers all over my car and make out I own a kart racing team?

Hi,

A pic of this "covert" towbar would be handy.. :)

It may be one where you have a removable towball.
Means that when not towing that yacht you don't have there is no visible sign of a towbar...
Or it maybe that the towball has been removed..?

My last three cars have had removable bars and quite simply you can tow anything that a fixed towbar can pull.

I suspect it would not be worth the effort to remove it all, just leave it where it is in case you buy a trailer to take up trials biking or Formula Ford racing!

Best wishes

worth more on car than sell secondhand since factory fitted option
