Another option.. Talked to a roof rack fabricator in the uk and I asked about a 145 roof rack and provided photos and brief dimensions from one of those old catalogues.. his reply:
"Hi, I could make something similar, but there would inevitably be some detail differences, particularly regarding the clamps. Also, the maximum size of parcel I can send is 1.5m so the rack would have to be a little shorter. Price for the rack (powder coated) would be about £230.00, postage is a rather eye-watering £145.00. Regards, Peter"
Not sure why the 1.5 metre restriction. But this option would suite a sedan or coupe ok.
