So that's what the Curt hitch looks like. I'm kinda dissapointed it's a fixed draw bar (which would mean a fixed ball) - I like to just have the one and swap it from car to car as needed, and that...

Ooh, that's overweight for the Class 1 hitch, so that's no good for you. Sounds like getting hold of the local supplier and seeing what they could do is the best idea.

Please post pictures of the...

I just looked up the Curt hitch for you. It's Class 1, which is made out of 1-3/4" box steel and good to 2500lbs. Since 1070kgs is 2350lbs and change, you should be alright there. How heavy is your...

It's looking a bit doubtful. I'm pretty good with the ol' Google, and I haven't been able to find one.

I personally think it would be a hoot to see a tow-bar on a 107. It would sort of like seeing James May and Oz Clarke with tow-bar (and Chavtastic caravan) on the back of a Rolls Corniche!

Thanks guys. I guess that location thing is omitted by default. I've gone ahead and changed it to show now.

Trunk lip needed.

The only rust on my car is the lip of the trunk. If anyone is scrapping a 107 where this metal is good, and doesn't mind getting the angle grinder going, I wouldn't mind hearing from you.

I would...

The wheel in mine is not so much toothed as it is serrated. That is if you're talking about the large metal wheel sitting on top of the plastic gear? I just figured that the toothed would be easier...

Antenna mast - smooth cord vs. toothed cord?

Are the antenna masts - early smooth cord vs. later toothed cord - interchangeable, or is the gearing inside the antenna different too? Or does it not matter, and the toothed cord will work in an...

When I was a kid, I would by cars in the under £50 range with about 6 months "tax and test" (road tax and MOT certificate). On the last day of MOT validity, I would just drive them to a local...

Used to be that a 20% discount (or was it 10%?) was a benefit of being a MBOC member. I took full advantage of this as recently as 10 years ago. However, between then and now, we've had all of our...
