Hi, I'm planning a month long UK tour in the autumn. Obviously the missus will be coming and in need of a complete wardrobe (and that's just for shoes)! I will have a carrier bag stuffed under the seat. My question is; has anyone found/fitted a luggage rack on a cabriolet?

£180 for some bent tube? Paddy Hopkirk? Not sure. So I have decided to put my foot down with regard to allocated space on the trip. I will give up my carrier bag space beneath the drivers seat. The extended radio ariel will make an ideal airing facility. My balls will remain in position for another day or so! Thanks for your advice.

Any rear seat passengers? Easily get a couple suitcases/ holdals on there as well.

I'm hoping for some good top down weather. Stopping en route for a coffee etc would mean putting the roof up... yeah I know... but it's a faff and I'm a lazy toad. And leaving anything on the back seat is too tempting for some!
