Does anyone know if a chrome luggage rack that fits onto the boot lid of a roadster exists. I've seen this type of thing on MGTFs but never on a zed. I need it to be functional so I can strap a case or tent to it though.
Anyone know of one?
 
There are some but hey are pretty hard to find, I was looking some time ago and can't find the links to the more stylish ones I found.
I ended up with one from here https://www.europaspares.com/83/STYLING___EXTERIOR/BOOT_RACKS.html and then got some small pieces made up to lift two the legs to give better clearance.
A company called surco make one if you find a UK supplier.
I'll take a couple of pictures of what I ended up tomorrow if you want.
 
There is an OEM one.

Yup, I have the OEM one. It was fitted when I got it. I have never seen anyone else with it. The rails are hand painted to colour match. It looks pretty good. I've never had need to use it to be honest and I've been on some pretty long trips and carried many pairs of her shoes but always managed with just the boot and behind the seats.

Hooray, this is a most exclusive club then.

My z is black and I wasn't a fan of them till I had them painted. I kind of like the rails now as it makes the rear a little more interesting.
 
Old thread but thought Id throw up some pics, as mentioned above many times i have nearly bought a new bootlid as they do spoil the lines then i just think its a little different and maybe a euro trip is in order and the space would be handy.

Once they're on, I'm guessing you cant take them off without leaving holes in your bootlid?

Yeah thats the problem :( four big bolts right through the lid, last owner spec-ed it from new :?
 
would make a good spare wheel carrier, was it the old rover that had a wheel on the boot?

Yes it was the Rover P6 or "Rover 2000 Shape" which allowed the boot mounted spare wheel to be locked onto the outside of the boot lid freeing up loads of space.

I had a 3500S V8 manual as my 1st car.
 
This of any use?

Not the best looking solution in the world, but leaves no marks on the car and I can vouch for having done 4000 miles around Europe with one that its stable and secure when on:
