Suitcase on 875 shown in Bond Magazine, Autumn 1965 - click to enlargeSuitcase shown on early pre-production 875 - click to enlargeThe roof mounted Suitcase was born out of necessity. Due to the 875's design of a rear engine and a front end full of steering and suspension, there was very little space left for carrying any sort of luggage. Bonds solution was to "put an extra boot on the roof." The case was made in glass fibre Suitcase brochure circa 1966 - click to enlargeand came in a neutral grey colour. If the case became scratched, "you simply go to work with a little household Article from Bond Magazine, Autumn 1965 - click to enlargepolish till the scratch mark disappears." The idea of neutral grey was to paint the case to match your vehicles body colour if desired.

The fact that the advert on the right has one fitted to a Ford 105E Anglia shows Bonds had hopes it could be sold to other car owners besides 875 owners. Exactly how it sold and in what quantities are not known.
