190E tie down to a trailer.

Hey guys, I will be taking the Cossie to a car show (about 8 hr drive) within a couple of weeks and I'm not sure I want to drive her.

Has anyone tied down one of these cars to a trailer? I have detected two tie down hooks on the front but I can't see anything on the rear. The last thing I want is to loose my precious load down the road.

Thank you for any input!

I haven't yet, but may need to. I havent look to see the best place to secure it in the rear. There isnt a "tow" hook or something? If not, get the wheel straps like the rollbacks use

Got it!

Car has ONE tow hook con the rear right. That plus the two hooks at the front will do just fine I think.

I will post pictures (for future reference) in a couple of weeks when I take the Cossie to Amelia Island.
