914 Tow bar

Post by ThreeTwo »

Has anyone on here fitted a tow bar to a 914???

I've been sent this - www.watling-towbars.co.uk/docs/pricelist.pdf. Part Number PSCH4

Been in touch with these guys who will make a custom tow bar but its pretty costly!!!

Hoping there may be another option....

Thanks

Looks a bargain to me!

Maserati Mike has one on his 914 and there are some pics on google..

Thanks for your message bud. I contacted Watlings and the part is obsolete but they are willing to make a one off...£600 + VAT and they need my car for a day to custom make a tow bar.

Need to get in touch with Maserati Mike...

Is it a towbar to haul a trailer, or a towbar to move your 914 around easily? If the latter, when my import arrives from the USA, there will be such a tow bar in the boot. I'll have no real need for it, so it will be for sale, cheap. Will provide photo if this is of interest.

Thank dude...one plan of action was to tow a small trailer. However a boot rack has been tried and tested and seems to be enough extra capacity for camping road trips...

Look forward to seeing your 914 when it lands...
