Much to my surprise and amazement, when I went to install a rear fog light, I found out my car had a towing hitch. Since I don't need one, I thought I'd try to see if anyone else does. I bought the car in June '11 so the hitch was installed some time during the previous 5 years. It doesn't look it was ever used. It's in pretty good shape, just the wear you would expect from riding out multiple mid-Atlantic winters. It's a Class 1 Receiver Hitch, model M1003 from MINI Do More, which according to their website will fit the following vehicles: 05-06 Cooper S Hardtop without rear fog light 05-08 Cooper S Convertible without rear fog light 07-10 Cooper S Hardtop 09-10 Cooper S Convertible Does not include wiring harness but you might be able to get one from MINI Do More. See their website for installation instructions. It took me less than 30 minutes to remove so I suspect it would take about the same to install. (I can't vouch for installation on a R56, check with MINI Do More before you purchase.) $100, Paypal preferred. Can deliver in DC/Baltimore/No VA. PM if interested or if you have any questions.
