Looks great on a mark 1 , not sure it's suits facelift models though ??????

Didn't have one on my P6 but they looked cool enough back in the day.

Maybe a good place to store the spare on a 75 with an LPG tank fitted?

They were even more diverse over at Land Rover:

Or somwhere to put the spare so you can fit the 20" sub

As far as an opinion on it - marmite, but these days I prefer vegemite I'm afraid. I think they'd be fine if fitted when needed and removable without leaving any sign on the boot lid. Unfortunately I think you need to drill the boot lid and put caps in/over the holes when not fitting the rack. I wouldn't (if I had one) drive around with it on unless neccessary - in which case it would be a smart way to add extra luggage capability without resorting to a roof box.

Local skate boarders love these when they have decent wheel bearings fitted on their boards !

Just needs a picnic basket and the look is complete

Handy for strapping a spare wheel to! Seriously though looks good, but not sure about drilling holes in the boot lid.

Couldn't bring myself to drill holes in the boot lid, but each to his own. Whilst I am not against the retro look, I do think that the black structure under the chrome rails is too thick and clumsy. Might be ok on a common colour, but don't ruin a "dorchester"

A little quirky. Looks great to me, and it is very rare so all the better.
