Default Wanted: Very Large Roof box

Hello, in prep for the summer driving trip to France am looking for a very large roofbox. Last year we used a long thin 'box which was great but not enough room in the car for wine!

We're looking for a larger model 600liters - 2.1m long. Similar to Thule Atlantis 900 etc.

If anyone has one of these clogging up their garage then I'd be glad to help free up some space ! :-)

Based in N West but do travel

Many thanks and happy Volvo'ing

Cheers, Nick

Default Roof Box

I have just listed mine on Ebay (just sold my XC90), starting price of £99. Not sure of the litre capacity but dimensions are 170 x 81 x 36 - one of the tightening screws on the roof bars is faulty and may need replacing. Or you could use your existing bars if you have them

I am in North Devon

Ace, am interested, especially if it's HUGE!

@Bob, that's big but not big enough! Thanks for replying though and good luck with the auction

it may not just be about size.....but the Thule Atlantis 900 really suits the XC90!
