MGTF Boot Rack : The boot rack has evolved

MGTF Boot Rack ? 

We stock six types of MGTF boot rack. Classic boot racks made in the Midlands, modern boot racks from Turin, and our own unique boot rack alternative the boot bag manufactured by us since 2008. 

The 'boot-bag' 

We make a unique MGTF boot rack alternative the boot-bag. Boot-bag is a waterproof luggage bag that straps to the boot lid of your MGTF without a rack. Cars have evolved in many ways over the past 50 years yet, the boot rack has remained unchanged. All it allows you to do is fix a bag to the your car by first fixing the rack to the car, in 2008 we thought 'why not just fix the bag to the boot ?' and boot-bag was born. We have sold over 25,000 since then.

There are two sizes in the boot-bag range :

Original- £124.95 / 144.95€ / $161.95   - 50 Litres of additional luggage capacity measures 70x36x20cm ( 28"x15"x8") giving 50 litres (1.75 cubic feet) of additional storage. The soft non slip fabric mat the bag sits on is slightly bigger measuring 80x40cm. 

Vacation - £154.95 / 174.95€ / $194.95  - 75 Litres of additional luggage capacity,50% larger than the boot-bag original measuring 90x40x20cm.(36"x16"x8")  The soft fabric mat measures 90x45cm. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The modern range of MGTF Boot Rack

The modern range comes in two variants black or stainless steel they fit perfectly.

Matt Black Model £194.95 / 199.95€

Stainless Steel Model £239.95 / 239.95€ 

These racks are 108x42cm in size. What we really like about this rack is the quality of the finish and the simple but very effective design it uses to attach to the boot lid. The modern rack has four clamps that can swivel and simply clamp onto the edge of your MG's boot-lid. The fixing points the feet attach too simply slide along the cross rails and are held in place with a m6 bolt

Then take the ends of the webbing and attach to the 6 ladder lock buckles on top of the bag. These are the same as you would find on a quality rucksack and once the webbing is tight it won't come loose. Detach the shoulder strap.
