Lesson learned: fit your van with a heavy-duty bike carrier rated for e-bikes, usually hung off the tow bar.

Risking his life, he helped my friend find the tow bar in his spare tire, which, unbeknownst to us, is standard equipment.

The car’s original owner, from Herstmonceux, East Sussex, had not treated it as a heritage piece, but drove it regularly and had even attached a tow bar to pull a dinghy.

The dismount required dexterity, placing skis, one at a time, perpendicular to the fall line while holding the tow bar.

He was reportedly operating a vehicle when the tow bar got caught on a power cable under the jet bridge.
