Need a towbar and looking for something invisible when not in use. So far only one I can find is for a 159 sportwagon.
I seem to recall that the GT shares same floor pan so I am wondering will this towbar fit a GT;http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Towbar-de...el:159&hash=item3aa2dde38e:g:nrAAAOSwKfVXLk2e

Any idea or alternatives?

Please. Unless you're going to tow a speed boat, or a jet ski, don't put a towbar on a GT. :biglaugh::biglaugh:

The GT and the 159 don't share anything of significance.

You are thinking of the GT and the 156.

The GT actually has more in common with the 147 than with the 156 SW.

The GT doesn't share the floorplan with the 159 SW, the 156 SW does supposedly share a link though

Just to chuck a spanner in the works, there are also different towbars for the 156 sw. When they facelifted them 2004ish, the rear number plate was lower, so there is a different towbar for earlier and later 156's.
I have a towbar I removed from a scrap pre facelift 156 and fitted it to my later model, all fittings + brackets are exactly the same but the swan neck towbar obscures the number plate, might be worth considering as the rear bumper on the gt might foul on the towbar, meaning you would have to cut a section from the bumper. A later 156 towbar has the best chance, but I've not looked under the back of a gt so couldn't say if mounting points, exhaust etc would fit or foul.

I've got a few 156 towbars if you wanted to try one before you buy....may have a 147 one soon, too. Haven't looked at the rear underside of a GT so although I know there are similarities with 147 and 156, and no real similarity with 159, I can't give a definitive answer.

If the OP isn't interested, I might be interested in the 147 bar (if it is swan neck type).
