[TR] FS: TR2-3B luggage rack -- hinge mount style -- NOS reproduction

[dave northrup]

That is so hilarious.   And true to home - i had my TR6 tail and trunklid repainted. The idiot not only put the luggage rack on backwards,  but did it before the paint fully dried

Well, proof if it were needed, that if you fit a luggage rack to a car, the raised hoop goes at the back - and not the front. I’ve lost count of The number of dickheads I’ve met down the years who swear blind the hoop goes at the front to keep luggage ‘in place’ under heavy braking.....

Doesn't it roast your rear when people use this list to sell stuff?  Kinda does me.

But, I have a few bits that really need to find the right homes, and figured I'd give this community the first shot.  Apologies in advance to those who don't like this kind of thing. :)

For sale -- a NOS reproduction factory-style, no-drill, chrome-plated TR2-3B luggage rack.  The kind that mounts to the boot lid hinges, has suction cups where the lower section contacts the body and clamps to the boot lid rim.  I've had this one for a decade or more, and I'm not planning to put it on my TR3B.  It's been stored in the house all this time -- no issues with it at all.

The original version as shown in the 1956 S-T accessories brochure:

These were sold by Moss once upon a time (where for all I know this one came -- I didn't buy it new) for $540, but long backordered.  Revington doesn't seem to have 'em anymore either.  Rimmer's appears to have them available (but not in stock) at $389.

Somebody must be looking for one of these, yes?  $250 shipped to a continental US address.

Thanks, guys.
