Default 700/900 series full length galvanized serious roofrack.

This was the best/strongest quality roofrack, you could buy, for your 700/900 series Estate. Once attached to the roof, the roofrack becomes part of the car!! It is as solid as a rock, im pretty sure these were galvanized. It will come with 8 clamps/bolts(4 each side).
Known as the Antiques dealer/Boot fair special, these were "King", back in the day. I cant remember how long i have owned this roofrack, but its over 20 plus years(never thought i would sell it).
Dont confuse this with the smaller/shorter/lighter Alloy 700/900 roofrack, they always ended up bending, the build quality of the alloy ones, were not in the same league as these beasts!

Its the ultimate roofrack, for your 700/900 series (no, it wont fit a 240 estate either) I also owned the 240 series roofrack too, but that will be going back 3 decades!!!

Price is £125 (firm). Cash on Collection, Bring a face mask, Covid distancing applies. Kent based (approx 22 miles south of the Dartford Tunnel).

Heres a photo of said roofrack, attached to my 960 Estate (took approx 3 years ago). I dont own that Estate now.

I will have to suspend this sale of roofrack...Ive had a real good look in my garage/shed, an i cant seem to find the 8 clamps/bolts??? Theve gotta be somewhere? I still have the other end of my garage to hunt in though, so they might turn up.
Did find some other Volvo goodies, such as Boxed (as new) Lucas Air mass meter/sensor(for a 940 HPT). Pair of rear 700 saloon lenses/lights, Pair of Volvo roof bars/clamps, an a Volvo luggage/dog guard with all fixtures/fittings.
Im sure ive got other Volvo dog guards/luggage covers too, just need to sort through some more stuff!

What kind of price would you be after for the 740 saloon rear lights? / do you have any pictures?

Good news...Ive found the original 8 clamps/bolts/nuts/washers for this "beast of a roof rack". They were tucked away in my garage, stashed in a plastic bag, behind my set of recently sold Nebulas!!

So the sale is now back on

Im not expecting to sell this roofrack anytime soon, because its certainly an unusual bit of kit, but hey, you never know, a forum enthusiast might want it?!

Dont make me list it on Fleabay(which is where i sold my old 240 version) of this beast. Sure, "The Bay" is good for reaching a much wider audience, but like Facefudgemarketplace, its also crawling with Timewasting/Tyrekicking/Dreamers/Messers/Armchair Experts.
