Used Vauxhall Tigra Towbar

The Vauxhall Tigra was a compact two-seater sports coupe, and towbars were not a factory-approved or manufacturer-offered option for this model — it was simply not designed or rated to tow. You are unlikely to find a genuine used Tigra towbar at a breaker because the part was never fitted in the first place. If you need towing capability, you would need to look at a different Vauxhall model such as an Astra or Zafira that was actually rated for towing.

Breakers can only sell parts that were present on the cars they dismantle, and because no Tigra left the factory with a towbar fitted, there is nothing to remove and resell. The Tigra's lightweight coupe bodyshell and low towing rating mean it was never homologated for towing use in the UK. This is not a stock availability problem — the part simply does not exist for this vehicle.

Unfortunately, this question does not affect your search in a practical way, because neither generation of the Tigra — the original GM T platform Mk1 nor the Astra H-based Mk2 — was offered with a towbar by the factory. No genuine breaker-sourced Tigra towbar exists for either generation. If you need towing, consider looking at a model from the Vauxhall range that was actually rated for it.

The Twin Top convertible and the standard Tigra B hardtop coupe share the same underlying Astra H platform, but this comparison is academic — neither variant was factory-fitted with a towbar, so there is no breaker-sourced part to cross-reference between them. The absence of a towbar applies across all Tigra B body styles and variants. You would need to look at a different model entirely if towing is a requirement.

While some specialist towbar fabricators will fit aftermarket bars to vehicles not originally designed for them, you should be aware that the Tigra has no manufacturer-approved towing rating, which creates serious implications for insurance, warranty, and legal liability. This is outside the scope of what a used-parts breaker can help with, as it would require a custom fabrication rather than a direct-fit used part. We would recommend consulting a specialist towbar installer and checking your insurer before pursuing this route.
