Sorry if wrong forum?!
Am after getting a roof rack for one of my minis,
A mates got one from a Morris minor, has anybody any ideas if one of these will fit onto a mini without too much effort?!
Cheers
Joe

Most "classic" roof racks will fit!

My roof rack was bought from a guy who had it originally fitted to a Volvo amazon.

As long as they have brackets that bolt onto the roof guttering and offer some sort of adjustment (to fit different cars).

Or you could go and buy one specially made for the mini.

Most roof racks with gutter fitting were universal rather than car spercific.

What do you want, a retro looking brand new one, any old thing, or something that looks ratty?
Either way ebay is a good start.

Then if you want a retro look new one then somerford mini centre, mini spares, moss etc

the only effort it takes its putting it on the minis roof and tightening up the brackets! :D

I have one from a morris minor and fits fine!
