We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Guy King 
saying something like:

Well, as it happens I am, but there's a few on ebay I'm looking at.

If I'd had the courage I'd have snapped up the set of Avant 100 roof
rails that were going. Scary though - drilling holes in the roof to fit
'em.

Heh. No probs here - an old Paddy Hopkirk bar at the front and two
pieces of 2x2 across the long rails gives me a triple roof bar setup for
buggerall.
