You'll be lucky. I had a pair of those on my old C50 back in the early 70's. I bought them new then but I've never seen them since. They have the rod that slots into the back from the rack downwards don't they.

I'd love to get another pair myself, it's deceptive how much you can get into them.

Reckon Leib is right, but keep an eye on Ebay as these things do come up now and then, but at "all the money".

Failing that, how about a homemade version using a granny shopping trolley?

I can buy the material.. Maybe I could make some... What would you guys suggest for the sides?? ie hard cardboard, like the door trims in BMC Cars?
