Anyone know where I can get a tow bar with electrics for my PI Manuel overdrive.

I may have a good used one but would have to check (when it stops raining!)
Is your car a Mk1 or 2, saloon or estate?

No idea, sorry, funnily enough, I have a towbar on my Mk1 Estate and another on my MK2 Saloon, I don't want either of them! removing them isn't straightforward however and would leave some holes in the floors, I'm probably best of leaving them in place.

The cross bar part of a Mk2 estate (between the bumper holes) will fit a Mk1 saloon as the rear end of a Mk2 estate is a Mk1 rear end! But the bracing bar that runs under the boot floor will be different.
