I think that's the Thule one not the Votex one.

Thanks Chortle. I know about the Votex rack. No one can tell me the manufacturer of mine. Nothing written on the rack.
I'd love to know who the manufacturer is. I have seen 2 pictured on the net and 2 for sale on ebay. I bought this one and someone in Oxfordshire bought one the other week from ebay.de aswell. I've seen at least 6 or 7 Votex ones for silly money for sale in recent years. Not these until very recently.
VERY well made it is too! It seems a rarer model than the Votex one.
It clamps to the rain gutter and then the roll bar piece has a metal bar and screw that then drops into a small hole…Put there by the factory!!! (Have a look under the seal at the top of the roll bar!) Then it tightens up. I can remove the whole thing in 5 minutes and the roll bar attaching section in less than a minute as 2 L shape brackets stay on the car (these can be removed in 2-3 minutes anyway). Now the Votex one requires you to drill into your A pillar and the roll bar sides……No brainer as to which one I prefer!! Although the design idea of the Votex model is attractive. Got mine for a very attractive price thank you.

The one I am on about is on the other site for 250.00 euros.
Big money, but like you say they are rare.
I know wht you mean about the Votex one, but I believe cross rails are available for yours too.
