I have a 2015 MB cdi220 c class saloon bluetect automatic amg line with panoramic roof, and premier line package, unfortunately no one can fit a tow bar to pull my Bailey unicorn Seville.  Can anyone recommend another MB c class of similar standard and spec that will take a tow bar.

    Looking at the MB website, it appears that the C Class saloon is not type approved for towing but the C Class estate is.

    NO! Don't cry After my phone calls last week, I really thought I might have had a 'sit-rep' phone call today, but as I was at work myself I
    didn't chase them up. I will tomorrow though. It went to the body shop last Fri and fitting the strut when it arrives from the Fatherland, is only a 2 hour job.

    Thanks for all the replies, MB just stated they had not developed one yet as the model was brand new. All other well known manufacturers and fitters stated it was the combination of panaramic glass roof, amg skirt and positioning of both exhaust pipes. When
    you place your registration number into sites it simply stated one could not be fitted. I am going to speak with MB again, many thanks to you all.
