Heyup. There are still pukka towbars available for the 500 and 126's:-

We had one made by a friend on a 126 now long gone...as I recall it had drop plates from the rear engine mount panel fixing bolts (changed for longer high tensile ones) and welded in an L shape, pieces that came out from car rear under the rear panel, across which was bolted the angle iron towbar. a bit agricultural but defo did the job...mind you we ran outa puff with car loaded and trailer!!...but downhills were a breeze...:slayer:
 
thanks for the information, do you have any old fotos of how it was done?
