Where can I find a factory trailer hitch?

I'm interested in finding a factory trailer hitch for my 911. Anyone know where I can find one? I think this may have been mostly a Euro part.
I'm not really interested in an aftermarket or Uhaul part - most of the ones I've seen look very poorly designed and built.

Any tips or leads are appreciated.

Thanks,

All I have is a picture, and a P/N.

Hi Graham,
Did you end up buying the factory trailer hitch?
If so how was the installation and are you happy with the product.
I'm looking for options to tow a 200lb aluminum trailer.

Nope, never found one, and kind of abandoned the idea. I wanted to tow a hobie cat, but then it occurred to me that launching a boat with a rear-engined car would be pretty dumb.
