Own a piece of Discoweb history: most likely, the very last KvT LWB rack.
If you've just crawled from under some moldy rock and have no clue WTF it is, it is a full-length low profile roof rack designed and built specifically for long-wheelbase Range Rover Classics by Kyle Van Tassel, one of the original Discoweb crew. Come to think of it, this is the ONLY roof rack designed specifically for this vehicle - not your run-off-the-mill ARB or Hannibal.
Very likely, this particular roof rack has been sold to several people at once in true late KvT fashion, and I suspect he took pity on me because I ordered two of these and sent me the last one.
The numerous upgrades to the bare-steel rack that showed up on my doorstep 12 years ago include a coat of primer and a coat of Chassicote semi-gloss black paint. I haven't even lost the original set of brackets that kept the rack from flying off the RRC's roof (when some contents of the rack did).
The rack has been used ONCE for moving my son into his dorm at Berkeley (the photos shown are the only photos of this rack with the vehicle, and are somewhat of sentimental value to me), and spent the rest of the time in my garage - so you can brag about it as a barn find.
The only thing that makes it different from a barn find is price - $1400 + shipping.
I am not yet a very motivated seller, but things may change.
I may go broke and sell it for peanuts, in which case my loss will be your gain.
Or I may not go broke and buy myself another LWB, in which case your loss will be my gain.
By the way, if you're on a scavenger hunt mission, the very wheels shown on that Classic are also for sale, for about $150 a set.
