G'Day Jim,
A frame towing isn't a problem with any vehicle provided the frame is attached securely. I personally don't recommend attaching a towing device to any suspension member, especially on a transverse spring design. The front axle setup on the A is not designed to take any major longditudinal forces as they all end up at the radius rod ball mounting underneath the clutch bell-housing. Not an ideal setup to drag the love of your life around by the transmission.
