Name that roof rack...

stuartmyles · Feb 26th, 2013, 19:49

Here is one for you, My dad has had a massive number of roof racks over the years on I think 11 volvos and has held on to a roof rack but can not remember which model it was for. Will try my best to get photos ASAP but does any one on here have any advice as to matching it up as we are looking to sell the item.

Thank in advance! Like I said ill get photos ASAP.

From the sheer size of the thing, it must be from a 740 estate car.
The brackets would suggest the same thing, as they are for gutter fitting.

the measurements are;

Length - 80 inches
Mount to mounth width - 48 inches

It's not a roof rack, that is a single bed, you have lost the mattress

It is either a 200 series or 700/900 estate the 700/900 will fit a 200 but not the other way round the 240 estate rack has thicker posts( the vertical bits from the gutter to the rack) they can be slimmed down by a file or abasive disc to fit 700/900, going price around £50.00
