oliproctor Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hi everyone, After ordering a luggage rack to fit onto my mk2 Spitfire from Rimmer Bros. I was disappointed to see how modern and new it looked especially with the black plastic fittings and ends on the posts. Does anyone know of somewhere I could find more 'vintage' luggage racks or anyone selling second hand ones? Many thanks, Oli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 http://www.boot-racks.co.uk/luggage-racks-for-classic-cars These guys seem to have a large range, but I've never dealt with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjit Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Just unlike those guys fit yours the correct way around! The idea behind the vertical bar is that it helps stop your luggage shooting forwards off the rack in the event of an accident, taking your head off on it's way to the windscreen. It's not to stop is just sliding off the back of the rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Mjit. Absolutely spot-on !! But, how many cars have you ever seen with it that way around ?? I think over the decades I can count about half-a-dozen !! Probably says more about a persons luggage securing skills than anything else Regards. Richard.
