I thought I could add to (revive?) this old thread with some images of the luggage rack on Harvey our RN.
I had always wondered what the non-standard rack was and discovered the post by Jeff Taylor. I now know that its a ELRCO Easyfit "Midget" - although the mounting brackets appear a little different to those shown the advert. The carrier is bolted to the body work and the floor and appears to "do the job".
There is evidence underneath the floor of earlier brackets which look like the "Super Easyfit" type mountings so maybe an earlier owner decided that a more modest carrier was good enough - probably a good idea.
We have used the carrier with the ubiquitous wicker hamper (below) and also a vintage leather suitcase. It works fine although the number plate (and lights) mounting is a little low when deployed.
Any more details on the ELRCO carriers and when they were sold etc. would be gratefully received.
