I own a Ford KA and need a towbar fitted but am told that this is not possible? Why?

All cars sold here from the 1st August 1998 must be European Whole Vehicle Type Approved. The vehicle maker decides when he applies for approval if the car will be allowed to tow and the car has towbar mounting points built into the chassis.

The Ka does not have towbar mounting points so a towbar cannot be fitted. It would be illegal to fit one or manufacture one to fit.

There are a number of other cars that cannot have towbars fitted so if you intend to tow with a small car ask before buying.
