Hi David, Williams fitted one to my +4 as advertised on their website. Seems ok although I'm not sure who makes them, looks similar to Librands.

Only thing is, I'm not sure if I'd bother with the screen storage , I don't use it and it makes the rack stand high.

I always thought that the racks came from Heart of England.

Hi David, My rack was fitted to the car when I bought it, I think it is a factory item. I have side screen storage and it gets used frequently, my wife prefers side screens fitted, I prefer no side screens so when we go out we can use side screens for fast travelling and put them in the rack when just pottering, also useful for extra luggage space, fill the sidescreen storage bag with extra items, good luck with your choice, Ian

Interesting thread here. I never realised that there were so many differing styles and designs.

Just had a squint at the tiny pics of the racks on John Worrall's Heart of England site, and it seems there are differing heights of non-sidescreen carrying racks. I'm guessing this is to give the option of clearing the 'cyclops' third rear brake light, but it also means the luggage support loop part of the rack sticks rearwards beyond the over-riders I think.

Maybe it's time for a few photo's of TMers racks..? I've Googled them but they don't always give the information needed with them.

Or maybe I'm just a saddo..??

ooo

This is the Morgan rack on my recently banished Roadster 3.7. I think that it cost circa £340.00.

There are two distinct variations for cars with over-riders as far as I know - with side screen storage. The main difference is the shape of the brackets which attach to the rear of the over - riders. The second difference is that the centre bar will either be in line with the centre of the spare wheel, or below it with a much larger stainless plate. This version seems to have a "J" section at the rear to stop the sidescreens falling out.
Max5's version above is the second type.

Hi Max5, that's not a digital speedo on your dash just above the steering wheel is it??? I'm looking for one, it's awkward looking to the left for the speedo all the time!!,
(that's the same luggage rack as I have fitted)
Cheers,
Ian
