Hi all: My first Alpine, a '66 Series V, originally purchased and driven in
England, had a dealer installed rack very similar to the VicBrit version.
It was attached through four holes drilled into the deck lid. The rack was
already installed when I bought the car in '67 from the original owner. She
indicated it was a dealer installed option. The car also had wires, radio
and overdrive. Should never have sold it!
from sunny South Dakota - where it's 50 degrees!
