Tow bar & Electrics for Free!
Hello fellow 480 enthusiasts,
Just clearing out my garage in anticipation of a house move early in the new year and I've come across the tow bar & Electrics I acquired 3 years ago when restoring my last 480.
Now you know and I know that I WILL be getting another 480 at some point in the future, but I don't think it will be for the foreseeable, so I was wondering whether anyone would like an early Xmas pressie for their car? All you need to do is either pick it up or arrange a courier.
Everything is there to fit it - bolts, spacers, nuts, plates and washers. The bar itself is undamaged and the electrics, although untested, appear complete.
Please p.m. me if you are interested. I will post photos later today - am typing this on my phone.
Merry Christmas to all!
Martin

Hello there and thanks to everyone who has viewed the thread - I've agreed a destination for the towbar, and am very happy that it will be gracing an enthusiasts car in years to come.
Thanks again!

Re: Tow bar & Electrics for Free!
all these offer sand nothing to bolt it to
weel there is a 480 but bumper is a tad 'lacy'
unless these DON'T use the bumper/towing eye mounts?

Re: Tow bar & Electrics for Free!
it's coming to me Alan and going onto the 480 that you previously expressed a wish to have first refusal on in due course...
