Does look funny. Kind of looks like you just superglued your mountain bike to the top of your cabrio and driving along

I think it's a "bag of compressed air" " tin of stripy paint" "roof rack for a convertible" type of thing.

Works well IMHO,first time I've seen one.

They were primarle sold in europe to accomadote the additonal ski rack fixtures aswell... The All Blue was/is the only cabriolet to have the correct mountins for a rack and if it aint got them its not a genuine all blue.. The kit did come with a template for fitting to lesser model cabs but the idae of having to drill into the A pillar put a lot of folk off.. Ive got 3 complete racks sitting in storage as they are now amaongst the rarest of cabriolet extras

The first one, came with my first cab, thought it was for a van as box was smashed, took it to ford to check the finis number and they came up as "Delayed back order"..so got on the phone to Daventry ford and found 1 minus instructions and got that. Second came from ebay.. complete minus screw and caps, the third came from a club member who got his at the european ford event..

If i can ill get some pics of the box and booklet..
