G506 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Hello all, I'm seriously considering adding a roof rack to my 1938 Hillman Minx, can anyone share photos of roof racks fitted to the smaller wartime cars in military service? I'm keen to get it as accurate as possible. Thanks in advance! Edited June 3, 2023 by G506 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Why would a military hillman minx that carried an Officer and a briefcase need a roof rack? I don't recall seeing any wartime photos of one, .. the Desert equiped Humber Snipe had a roof rack, but then it would need it in the desert Edited June 3, 2023 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G506 Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 Hi Nick, modern practicality really! Myself, wifey, and two sons in the back, a tad cramped to say the least. Just having a little more space will make a difference. We had it in Normandy four years ago, a roof rack would have been extremely useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Yes, practical to go to Normandy but its not authentic or accurate, Edited June 3, 2023 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
