I worry a lot about old type 3s being towed by the bumpers. Take a 
look at where the bumpers supports are bolted to the body and 
you'll see that it's just a plate that is spot welded to body sheet 
metal. It's also a rust prone area. You can certainly get away with 
this if the body is like new there, but otherwise it's asking for 
trouble.

I'd look for one of those 2-wheeled dollies that you can just put the 
front wheels on.
