I'm sure that yours will quickly find appreciative new homes. I passed mine on to a fellow forum member who intended using it on his cherished 145 some time ago.

I inherited a 240 rack from my Aunts dead 240 GLT. I had a 1986 740 and simply unbolted the 3 mounting brackets on one side and fitted them internally from memory. It fitted fine and no issues with even 10 sheets of 8x4 plasterboard half inch thick each. Was in France at time and drove home the 8 miles with around 250KG on the roof! Mine was the full length but flap at front and rear bar that lowered in aluminium.
Pictured here fitted to my 240GLT which I bought years after the 740 and a Corolla. Kept the rack when PX the 740!
A very kind offer! Not many around now!
