Anyone tow a trailer Options

[ThreeTwo]

First of all hi... Owned our 914 for around 2.5 years and loving life!!

Living in the UK we have recently been on two Euro trips - each was around 1000 miles. The car was faultless and drives really well.

The engine was rebuilt last year and the gearbox also had a major make over at the same time so mechanically it's strong

We would like to tow a small tear drop caravan or perhaps a small trailer in the future and we're wondering if anyone on here has experience of towing?...

Can anyone help with a tow bar solution please?

thanks

Paul,

In the UK you can easily lay hands on a lightweight Eriba Puck, which was made for T1 Beetles, Buses, etc., & there have been a few who've towed them with 356, 911/912 & 914s as well.

At this point in time you'd need to find someone there familiar with the 914's unibody & have a custom made hitch built for your 914.

I'd try to stick with a vintage 1960's - 70's Puck or Fawn in the 500-800 lbs. (US) range. Look them up with a Google & see what the old ones were. An added advantage to getting a classic trailer to match your classic 914, is that you can take it to Vintage Caravan Rallies & events there & on the Continent.

Here's some inspiration -



Good Luck!

Cheers Mate!
