I am looking to buy a 7 style kit car as i am getting bored of being injured on road bikes. (two broken arms & a broken leg at the moment)

I would like to fit a tow bar/motorcycle carrier so that I can carry my enduro bike (112kg).
Any advise on a suitable car/chassis would be greatly appreciated.

The later Robin Hoods are cheap and have a very substantial tubular chassis with a 38mm tube spare wheel carrier that is perfect for attaching a tow ball. There are at least half a dozen with tow balls that I know of. One even tows a caravan!

Thank you for the advise.
I forgot to say that I will also be opting for a CEC to avoid wheelies when enduro bike is on the back.

On a related topic, I've been trying to figure out how to fit a small trailer to a De Dion Rush...

I have the back half of my previous chassis & body work againt the wall of the garage and think it would make a nifty tyres & tools trailer for track days. With the IRS chassis, there is a sturdy cage around the diff which would be an ideal mounting point, buts not there with De Dion.
I'm thinking that I could make something that uses the diff mounting bolts to hold it in place. Any better(aka 'easier') suggestions?
