I have had a custom made towing assembly that works extremely well.  I  
have towed roadsters all over the country or just across town using this set  
up.  You remove the front bumper and attach the tow bar (which makes a  great 
bumper when you leave on).  This was made from square tubing welded  to 
flat heavy duty iron that was drilled for the nuts (we did make it oblong  hole 
for aligning better).  We also welded corner triangle pieces for  support.  
I can send pix for better visual if you want.  Used this for  30 years with 
a variety of roadsters.

Group,

Has anyone ever towed their roadster behind a motor  home? I'm thinking 
about
doing this myself. It appears that I would need to  build the attachment
points on the front of the frame myself since there  aren't any manufactures
that make attachment brackets anymore for our  little cars. I would also 
have
to disconnect the driveshaft when towing  plus install a light and indicator
connection to the car. Any other  considerations that I've  missed?

Thanks

Steb
