Type approved for towing?

[Fidgits]

So, this is a puzzler...

I'm looking for a new car, however, because I need to tow the jet ski, I need something that is type approved for towing... Which limits me from the sort of cars I would naturally buy (M3/VXR8 etc)...

So far, the only options that we have found are the 335i, impreza sti330 and m5...

All of which are not exactly what I'm after...

So, the question is, is there a way of me being able to search for cars, including ones that are type approved for towing in the uk (whether in oh classifieds or elsewhere?), rather than finding a good option, only to have to discount it after digging into the details...

And on this, does anyone have any experience with insurers and imported cars and towing?

Try looking at a company like Towsure's website fitment list. If the car isnt approved then they wont offer a bracket. Not foolproof, but between Towsure and Witter most models over a year old will be covered.
