 A brand new classic roof rack designed for Classic Mini 1959-2000 including Morris Mini & Austin Mini and Mini vans.

As you may guess that we are a VW Classic cars/vans parts company. However, over the last few months, we were constantly asked by Mini owners if our classic roof racks for VWs would fit on Minis. Unfortunately at that time, the answer was no as the classic roof racks we designed were for VW vans therefore they were wider in width but shorter in length. To make one for Classic mini we have to shorten the width to fit in narrower Mini rain gutters and also to increase the front to rear length to make it fits over mini roof perfectly. Here you go, after a few months hard work, now we are delighted to offer this specially designed roof rack to Classic Minis.

We have fitted one on our 1964 Mark I Mini and it fits as nice as showing in the photos. As you may know the front gutter width on a classic Mini is 112cm and the rear gutter width is 108cm.

 This authentic style roof rack is made of a combination of 19mm in diametre and 16mm in diametre strong steel tubes with adjustable width for fitting in different gutter width of different classic cars. We measured the ranges of gutter width this rack will fit are from 104.5cm to 113cm. 

When it is on the classic Mini, the width for the loading area including steel tubes are 94cm at the front end and 90cm at the rear end resulting from the non-parallel Mini gutters. The length from the front bar to the rear bar is 107cm. The usable inner loading area size excluding steel tubes is 90cm Front width, 86cm rear width, and 101cm inner length front to rear.

For other classic cars we recommend that the minimum inner loading area would be 82.5cm in width and 101cm in length; and the maximum inner loading area would be 91cm X 101cm on this roof rack.  

It is specially designed for Austin, Morris, Wolseley and Riley Minis from 1959 - 2000. But it will fit on other classic cars with rain gutters.

 The distance between the front and the rear feet is 66cm inclusive. This means that your car needs to have at least 66cm long clear rain gutters before you can use this roof rack on it.

The distance from the front outer edge of the loading area to the rear leg inclusive is 87cm.

It has a stunning grey powder coated finish to enhance its long lasting qualities in all weathers.

 The height of the 4 legs is adjustable by 3 different screw holes on the foot plates. (wall thickness 2.5mm) We recommend people use the lower setting on the feet, as this will give the rack a 2.5cm gap between the bottom of the rail and the centre of the roof.  However if you fancy taller looking you can use the middle setting and it will give you 5cm gap, or the top setting and it will give you 7.5mm gap.  All feet have plastic shoes/mats to prevent your paint work getting damaged when clamping on the roof rain gutters.

It will hold an evenly distributed load of 50kg.

The roof-rack comes with step by step fitting instructions with coloured guiding pictures.

All fittings are provided making the assembly an easy job.
