Spotted a traveller, the only other Minor at the Winslow classic run today. Started at Little Horwood and finished at Waterperry Gardens 90 miles.

Looked lovely and was pulling very well up the hill from Manchester Road.
Morning. I thought a roof rack on a traveller was a no-no?

I think it would be most unwise if the timberwork was in poor condition. The aluminium rear roof panel is only pinned to the wood frame through the aluminium guttering. Having said that, we had a roofrack on our Traveller for many years - often laden - and never had any problem at all. It was common to see Travellers fitted with roofracks.
