A good bloke to speak to would be 'minty' on this forum, Gordon. He breaks Volvos and may well be able to help you. The one that was on my 745 will almost certainly be long gone by now, but he may well have others in stock.

Regards, John.

You might be better off putting this in the "Wants" section

https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=177

Also have a look in the Sales section :

All 7/9xx towbars should fit, the electrics might be a bit tricky as you need to run from in front of the Bulb Faliure Unit.

A few options there!

Ive got one available, came off my 960, £40 although I am in Glasgow so you would need to arrange a courier

I have one on a 745 that could be had for a modest price but, the snag is you would have to take it off and, unfortunately I am nowhere near Liverpool. Bob
