Can anyone help me with a roof rack sourceing problem i have? As i have discovered 'classic' mini roof racks are like rocking horse s**t to come by, but i have seen in a MiniWorld article that a roof rack intended for a ford was used with great effect. Can anyone suggest were i may source this or any other roof solutions. Many thanks

most roof racks for cars with gutters should fit minis, they are usually adjustable in width and height. Try looking around or on ebay, I found mine searching for "roof rack gutters" and "roof rack classic"
and a picture of the one I got from ebay:

Roof bars as readily available from Halfords or the 'Paddy Hopkirk' mob direct. Not sure about racks though.

Here's mine. Just try to source some roof rack from the '60s or '70s. Those should be usable with mini gutters.
