No, but there must be one out there:

Watling Flange towbar JAGUAR XK8 Coupé 96 To 98 | £235.09 | Towequipe.co.uk

With a 26 foot twin axle van on the back of the XKR, you can really get to know the neighbours better on that scenic road above your house.

G;

You always are working on your car maybe you should mount one on the front....so you can get it to the shop and not get 'bunged' up.

cheers and thanks,

With the hook (really it's an "eye") the tow truck driver can pull the car up onto a flatbed without having to crawl underneath it and attach his cable to something that might get damaged.

Here's what it looks like. As you can see, it's made of solid gold. It weighs about a pound, so a lot of people sell them. With the price of gold these days it's worth more than the car in many cases. I put mine on a chain and I wear it around my neck when I drive the Jag. Nothing says "success" like driving a Jag and wearing a one pound hunk of gold around your neck.

I just cleand mine really good to take to “We Buy Gold” and all the gold color washed offf!! It’s steal with a gold color finish. But the dream of my broke down $2k car had a part worth $15k was fun while it lasted
