Towbar or not towbar?that is the question!

Is there anyone out there that has fitted a towbar to their svx, I've tried to get one but the only company that will do the job is in St Albans Herts.They say it has to be done at their factory,trouble is that's about 100 miles or so from me in Southampton.
I'm moving to Gibraltar and want to tow a trailer with all my personal crap in it,so i wondered if anyone had had one fitted or had done the job themselves plus how easy or hard it was.
Any info would be appreciated.

There was a fellow in your corner of the world who used to trailer his race car behind his SVX. He used to run the Yahoo UK SVX Site -- Groundeffectsltd was his screen name, but, I haven't seen him around for a while. Perhaps another member there can help you out -- anyone????

Thanks Randy,

You are correct. I see senility has not got a grip on you yet!

The only car we ever had in the Network with a tow-bar is the one yahoo! founder Rob Marcus had, see http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...alist/3202.jpg

Don't know where Rob had it fitted, and I know he sold that car a year or two ago.

You can contact him on Yahoo as Groundeffectltd, and his title here on the Network is Groundeffect. He does not post much here, but if you go to his locker, you can email him.

Joe

Well, at least you are still getting out of bed and over to the computer.

Can't use a search engine for that, now can we?

We had a local member here that put one on his SVX. He towed a motorcycle trailer behind it from WA to AK when he moved there to go to school. I will look up the thread and show it here. He had pictures as well and some discription of what they did to install it. I also saw one on ebay a while back. It was custom made and would bolt up to the frame.

Who says I'm "out of bed?" Wireless is a wonderful thing.
