..but think they are one of the least useful extras to have and bet they just end up at the back of the garage..

Was there a saloon roof rack? I imagine so, but don't think I've seen one..

Yes - it is somewhat in same style as the estate ones - allthough different (!)
Later (end of 1960ies - early '70ies) there was two Volvo options - one similar to the one shown above - (the one shown is not an Amazon one).

Thanks both...that first one looks a little, little.. somehow. CVS..do you have any pics of the 2 Volvo ones? I'd be interested in seeing them. Thanks.

Argh.. well.. I knew I couldn't get by not finding them... here is one I sold some 3-4 years ago..
This is the early one - listed for both the PV and the Amazon.

BTW.. Don't trust adds for this kind of objects, unless you KNOW - far too many think they have the 'right' one - 90% of the time it's NOT the right ones.

Thanks...how much for such a fine specimen?

Ohh.. I can't remember the figure - but in this condition it should fetch, say.. GBP 200-300 or so..

Here's mine. It was supplied with my mate's old Amazon when it was new and was on the invoice from the supplying dealer though I'm told it's not a genuine Volvo one

It's here in Exeter if you want to try it on, amazon69. I love the look but it's unbearably noisy and takes chunks out of your paintwork if you're clumsy when putting it on.
