Default Towing

I need to move a small car off my drive to my mum and dads a few miles away. I have one of them metal towing bars instead of a tow rope. on my tourer theres no place on the back to connect the towing eye to. it has a big alko tow ar on the car it self but is there some place else to put the towing eye on the rear of a tourer or is thebest place to put the metal bar is around the tow bar ?

Thank you

If its the same as the saloon (I think the tourer is) The towbar clamps around the central towing eye rendering it unusable.

Your best option would obviously be a car trailer, if you cant get the bar fastened to the tow ball.

Or a tow rope!

yep its the same as the saloon, if you can find one locally trailers seem to be around £40-45 for a days hire
