The best bet is a roll back hauler.
15 years of bearing grease, gear oil, and dry rotted tires for 50 miles is
pushing it . (sorry for the pun)

Hi,

I'm just starting a restoration on a 1980 Spitfire which I bought new but
has been sitting for 15 years.  One of the first things I need to do is to
tow it.  I was wondering if you might know of a manufacturer that does a
towbar/baseplate combo for hauling these?  Also, would you try to tow one 50
miles or so without dropping the driveshaft?

Input would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks
