Hi Guys,

So after finishing the main build, I've been adding bits and pieces to my Clubman, just some of the not so common but not rare accessories. Currently I have the Nudge Bar and Rear Louvers installed, and the windscreen sun shade/visor ready for paint. The next logical step is to find some roof racks.

What sort of racks were available back then? The car is essentially black and chrome, so something shiny would be the preference. Was there factory stuff available or would it have been a "universal" Repco item or similar? I'll be honest, I'm more looking for Form over Function here. I'm not super keen on drilling holes into the roof either, but I'm thinking it would be a necessary evil here.

Also any ideas for other unusual accessories are always appreciated.

Cheers,
Keels.

There are some universal ones for sale on ebay at the moment not sure where they are located though. Took me quite a while to find these locally for the countryman. The lock onto the gutter and clamp down so no holes to drill. Not sure if there where any specific bmc racks. A couple of Perth facebook groups you could ask in.

Other unusual accessories I have is a little picnic table that attaches to inside of the door, portable period picnic radio and nice matching NOS 60's picnic set and 60's surfboard as seen above.
