Karman ghia mark 2 luggage rack

Post by dirkc »

Found this at a 2nd hand shop this morning. They are selling it at R250. It apparently can fit a Karman Ghia mark 2. It was originally imported from the UK. The old price was R500.

Got it! And almost brand new at that according to the seller, with the hard to find clamps that hook onto the engine lid vents.

Thanks for the lead Dirkc, much appreciated.
