Has anyone towed an S before? If so where did you hook her up without the risk of twisting the bonnet brackets or worse?

Wow. I hoped you were going to tow with it for a minute. Now that would have made for a good thread. Sorry cant help with the other way round.

If you are towing the S with a low enough car you can use the towing eye on the chassis.

I had to get mine towed for more than 30 miles last year, we used a vito van that had a low towing bracket.

I'm glad to here it can be towed from the chasiss if the front vehicle's eye is not too high.
Although my breakdown cover includes 'homestart' so might use that to save hassle

If you are insured with Hagerty and take their breakdown cover it guarantees a low loader - no towing.

I've never put it to the test though.
