All very odd Rhys & Stephen and I can only apologise if it's my fault. The weird bit is that I called you (Rhys) back last weekend, sent txts and then finally spoke to someone who said that you weren't interested any more as you'd got a tow bar! So I was a bit put-out too because I thought that the person I was communicating with was you! No worries - let's try again

Like you Rhys I am a new member - I cannot yet send you a private message on this forum. That doesn't help

To clarify:

The towbar that I have is a swing away bar which has been used on a 240 estate. Altho I am told that it is a genuine Volvo product, I think that it is an after market tow bar. It does fit to a 1991 car with no modifications required other than to the valance (depending on your car). The valance on my car had been cut to accommodate the towbar and the valance has now had the hole made good. Finding an unadulterated valance is tricky as so many 240s had a tow hitch

It's in SW London. Postage is going to be expensive due to weight and size. Some form of collection arrangement would be better

my mobile # is 07971 808366 - pls call or txt and we'll see if we can't sort this out straightforwardly

Once again, really puzzled what happened re earlier comms. Certainly not deliberate on my part

Sorry Nicholas, I have had no calls from you at all. I have no idea who you spoke to, but not on my phone. Did it end in 750?

Hi Rhys

This is surreal. Please call me or text me on 07971 808366 and I can a) tell you about the towbar if you are still interested and b) explain to you what I think has happened

I am heartily puzzled like you. Also like you I still cannot PM which doesn't help. As I delete data on my phone I can't tell you what number I texted/called I'm afraid

Sorry that this is confusing - it's frustrating for me too as I am not in the business of messing people around - and it could be quickly resolved through a phonecall if you have the time/are still interested in the towbar

I await to hear from you Rhys

All the best

Nick

Bizarre while I understand the need to restrict I feel that 30+ is a bit much causing frustration and miscommunications. Nicholas, I will be in touch as requested.
