I think that's the Thule one not the Votex one.
You got the Instructions for fitting it?
How does it attatch to the B pillar too?
I have seen one available for 250.00 Euros.

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.

They look good whichever you get. I believe yours is deffo a Thule one as the one on the bay was the same I saw on another site and was listed as Thule.
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.
