Newbie with a towbar question
Posted: 08 May 2011 07:03 pm
Hi Everyone,
I thought it wasw about time to introduce myself, i've been a visiting guest for a while and a lurker for a few weeks since i joined up!
I am currently on the look out for a nice 340 that isn't too far of a travel, they are getting rare now so its harder to find one
Currently i own an Astra Mk4 1.6 but really miss my first car which was a 1989 Metro Clubman 998cc - my heart really lies with what are now 'retro' cars, for this reason i decided that i wanted a something older again - a Metro was out of the question as i was always worried about safety in my old one and this brought me to Volvo... built like a brick shed
My Parent's had three different 340's in the past and my uncle and Grandad also had a couple of 340's and a 2.0i 360 and i've just always loved the character they have about them - it's something that most modern day cars lack.
I have been looking for quite a while and was intending bidding on the 1989 Blueline recently on eBay as it ticked all boxs (bar being near!) but unfortinatley that and others have since sold.. im sure the right one will turn up in time however.
Anyway after all that ramble im finally at my Question; i intend towing with my Volvo once i hopefully get my hands on one
are towbars hard to get hold of for the 340/360? or do they regularly come up for sale second hand? I am just asking because as far as i am aware towbar suppliers don't sell them new anymore for the 340 or 360
An early thanks to all of you that will take the time to answer and i look forward to finding my own
or 
Thanks.
Matt.
