I had spotted these on various factory cars but this is the first I've heard of them being made available for sale, not on their website yet though. 2014 110 2.2TDCi XS Station wagon

Whitbread make these or at least very very similar. Think Pete's are whitbread, but not 100%.

There was a set on the 110 Van they sold a couple years ago!

I have one fitted to mine & I'm sure Simon has one with the silver inserts fitted to his 90

Think we were the 1st Mr. Green

Whitbreads are more tubular though. Very smart non the less.

They look nice but reduced practicality, especially when your wife slips and gets hooked on the ball. Whistle


Tow ball! Rolling with laughter

It depends if you use your defender for towing as the nas step pushes the ball further away from the axle pulling the back of the vehicle down I much prefere to keep the hitch as close to the axle as possible

If you look at Xler8's pictures Simon you'll see the tow all remains in the original location, that's the appeal of this style of step Thumbs Up Thumbs Up 2014 110 2.2TDCi XS Station wagon
