Saw this being fitted the other day. I'm sure they'd ship to the UK. They're a good firm.

I think the issue is that they're not type approved for use in the UK and if anything happened the insurance companies could be funny. They're usually more reliable and stronger than the UK sort. 1972 Range Rover Classic 2 door V8

I don't know anything about how UK insurers would treat these although it's a very good point, but I have a full rear bar Class III hitch, which is bolted to the chassis. It's a beast and is rated to 6000lbs. I trust this far more than the LR click and fit hitch on my previous D3s and 4s. (The electrics that were fitted are utter  however. A cable that runs from the battery under the chassis held on with cable ties when I got it).
If the OP wanted one of those, they're about $190 here, although I can imagine that shipping to the UK would cost quite a bit. PAGODA

Many thanks for all the replies, I eventually found one from a Landrover dealer here in the UK. Thanks again, this is a great group. Regards, Dave.
