They come up occasionally, and aren't overly pricey when they sell.

Tow bars were a factory accessory as well as an aftermarket accessory.

Maximum towing weight for a Mini is 406kg (8cwt)

I had a normal one given to me, I hate how the standard ones bolt to the boot floor, so I cut it up and made one that's much stronger, and mounts properly

Glad I didn't put a centre exit exhaust on now. Wouldn't mind an old tear drop caravan!

I've got one here complete with an anti vibration damper on the forward mount. The mount is longer than usual and bolts under the rear floor pan so it won't distort the boot.

Looking at the BMC accessories book they list one part number for the 850 and another number for the rest (Deluxe, K, Cooper S), I wonder what that is all about?

I reckon the hydro pipes will get in the way if they have a stabilizer in the center of the boot floor.
