Any suggestions for a trailer hitch for a 90 XJS Coupe? I would like to flat tow a 60 Bugeye Sprite. Bolt on would be preferable.

Thanks in advance

 

Oddrods. I looked for a hitch a while back. As far as I could find out none of the hitch makers list one for any XJS.

I found this one.

The only thing I don't like is that it uses the bumper as part of the assembly. On a stock bumper it would defeat the 5 mph crushability. I plan on tucking the 5 MPH bumper so it would not work for me. I think I might try and weld one up similar to this design.

 

If you look at this photo of my donor car, you'll see a class 1 receiver type hitch poking out of the TWR bumper cover.
Check jcwhitney.com. I just searched them, and saw 2 of them which they claim will fit the XJS.

 

Kinda off topic, can't help with the tow hitch....but I wouldn't mind taking a look at a pic of that Sprite.

I would steer clear of JCWhitney. After all, they also claim to carry stock replacement carbs for the XJS.

 

Cool!!! I've been looking all over the place for a couple four-barrels to fit the Edlebrock hi-rise manifold I bought from them for my XJS.
