This is the first one I bought off eBay for £15. It was ok, but was a tad thin (in width on the roof) and the feet that sit on the roof tend to dent the roof a little depending how tight you fix it to the gutters and what you are carrying.

So after a while I did a bit more searching and found a Desmo roof rack as used by a few people on here. I think I got it for £20 and took it apart and sanded it down and resprayed it. This fixes onto the guttering. I love LowandSlows roof rack and have been looking for ages, keep your eyes peeled on eBay!

I have one of the classic rally ones, havnt got round to fitting it yet but i do have to agree they are a pain in the bum to find......

Roof racks are one of the most useful accessories on the classic Mini. In the 60's when we used Minis as everyday cars I often fitted mine to move awkward loads. Then I bought a Cortina with a huge boot.

The only downside was the increased fuel consumption and the added wind noise, even when the rack was empty. Blooming useful though.

This is exactly what I am after, where did you get it?

Yep, I thought that may be the case.. it's a real shame.. the website currently has this message 'IMPORTANT: DUE TO FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCES BUSINESS IS CURRENTLY SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY' their products seems to be the best I've seen.

 

Anyone have any recommendations for alternatives? 

[greenwheels]

Website seems OK now.
