Wanted Wanted rover roof bars

[philsford]

Would any of you happen to have a pair of roof bars to fit a rover r8 416 tourer? Not the easiest car to get hold of bits for now. Also would buy a towbar bracket if I could find one. These r8 rovers were once very popular and there must be loads of these parts hiding in garages I hope.

Keep an eye on eBay, it has furnished me with a set of roof bars and a set of OEM rubber mats for my 414 R8 for practically no expense.  Be aware that most of the tow bars that do pop up are for the shorter 200 and won't fit the Tourer.

I had wondered if the 200 towbar would fit so that answers that query. I do look on ebay a couple of times a week but so far nothing. Oem rubber mats are also on the list but less important than the other 2 items only due to the car not being quite as useful as it could be with a towbar and roof bars at my disposal.

Does it have roof rails?

No roof rails. That would have been far to easy if they were fitted.
