What do you want to fit? You can get (in order of cost) detachable, fixed swan necks or a two bolt flange type.  :y

Any particular reason? They're a bit lot ugly  ::) My preference is a detachable .... for obvious aesthetic reasons.  ;)

There might even be a breaker that has one kicking about  :-\

They're all as easy to fit as each other ....... they all use the same holes.  ;)

Just remember .. on all vehicles registered since 1998 the towbar, if fitted, MUST have "type approval" -  European type approval 94/20/EC - so be careful with non-branded ebay cheap stuff ... it may well be illegal to fit... :(
