roof bars for an 850 saloon

At least, I'm pretty sure that's what they are anyway... can anyone confirm?

They do look a LOT like this:

I can't see a part number anywhere, apart from the code underneath the end caps, and you can't see it on the photos, but it's a 7 digit number, something like 853 0345 or something? I wrote it down last night but forgot to bring the paper with me to work

They've been sat in the cupboard for 3 years since I bought them, so I'll accept any reasonable offer for them just to get rid.

Apparently they were £90 new, I paid £25+P&P, and never used them (seller made an honest mistake -- sold as V40 bars). They're in great condition, no rust inside the end caps, rubber is intact all over, there's just a couple of small line marks where I guess a roof rack/box has been sat on the rubber.

Note that they are transverse bars, and the lengths hole-to-hole (again from memory so may not be exact) are F: 1085mm and R: 985mm and the rubber feet on the front bar is sloped down a bit. All the fixings are included, and a random key, although I can't think what the key might be for as there's no lock?

No idea what other models they might fit, but the link above implies they will also fit the S70.

If no quick takers on here, then I'll put them on eBay and see how it goes. Need to shift them before I move house.

I reckon postage will be around a tenner as they are big, but I can also deliver them for free, as I do travel up and down the M6/M40/M1 quite a lot.

I also have a set of these, I've been told there quite rare so I've never sold them, might come in handy one day

That's good to know -- but I'd need to buy an 850 first

I do think if/when I get around to hunting down a nice 850R (I missed the last one for £1200, as timing was bad, still feel a bit gutted about that) I would never want to put roof bars on it anyway......

They're on eBay, priced £40 BIN but I'm open to offers.

hi, any idea if they will fit my pre facelift 850 saloon? i imagine it's all the same as the post facelift models, but worth checking.

Aye, should do, unless they changed the roof mounting points? See the link I posted to the spares place, it's got the years on it

Measure the distance between the points on your car, and I'll confirm if it's the same on the bars, but it should be
