A bit late to the party with this so I hope you have it resolved, here is what I have..

Not too late. Where did you purchase it and how did you fit the tow bar itself please. Is it a bespoke fitting/one off or can you ping me a link to it please? 
 

kind regards

Nice to see you're back.

Hi everyone.  I've got my towbar for 2012 Vellfire from Watling Engineers Ltd a few months ago. Easy fit. Unfortunately they are closing the business this month. They did towbars for JDM and American import cars for a many years. What a shame to lose another  craftsmen. Not too many left in this country. But if anyone still needs some towbars is the good time to give them a call and ask. You can get a good deal. That's the message from the company director.

 

"To all our customers past and present - 

Firstly I would like to say that it has been a pleasure to serve the needs of the towing public for the last 18 years, and further back, Watling Engineers has been an integral part of the industry since the very beginning. However, times have changed, and things move on, which is why we have decided to close the business at the end of this month, September 2022.
This will be a sad day for some, a relief for others, but a new start for me and my family and, with any luck, it will enable us to spend more time together doing the fun things in life. So, with that in mind I bid you a fond farewell, and good luck with whatever you are doing.
That being said, we do still have some remaining stock left which needs to be sold, so, if you, or someone you know is in the market for a front towbar, motorhome scooter carrier, or a towbar for your Japanese, American or classic vehicle you have been meaning to get done, now would be a good time.
We are no longer able to do any fittings or modify items, but anything we have in stock can be dispatched or collected in person from us here.
Please don’t use Facebook to get in touch as this is not often monitored, but email on
sales@tow-bars.co.uk or give us a call on

Kind Regards to all,

Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a Vellfire 2011, I’m in Aus, trying to find roof racks and a tow bar. Wanting to get advice on this. Are the Vellfire and alphard the same or same size etc? Every time I try look something up for the Vellfire so much alphard stuff comes up

Hi

 

A company called Norbrook Trailers lists towbars for both the Alphard mark 1 and Alpard / Vellfire AH20 mark 2.

 

They have an ebay shop @ TowbarsDirect from NorbrookTrailers | eBay Stores  or ring them on 01925 730 005

Do all tow bars for a vellfire anh20 require a bumper cut of which the listing states might be visible. Very off putting!
