Trident Trailers in Kent are pretty good. Around £180 for a towbar on a car. |

Blanche Cleary Trailors are in E27 near Leyton (and Excel if you are going to the Boat Show). They are very good, cheap and have hundreds of towbars in stock. Their number is 02074762638.

I fitted my own which I bought from Towsure (I'm sure they're on the web), it cost me about £50 and is excellent.

Rick Simac in Waltham Abbey does a mobile service. Did a good job on an old Viva! I have also used Towsure to supply. New EU rules now apply to tow bar design, this may be making them more expensive these days. |

Talking of towing, what is the smallest car that anyone has towed with?
I have just got a 200 and wondering if my mums 1 litre corsa will manage to stand the pace  I'd be interested in anyones ideas. |
