Identifying Thule Footpacks/bars

I want to ebay a Thule footpack and roof bars, but have no idea what car they came off?!

We got them ages ago when we won a bid for a roof box where the bars were included in the auction.

Is there an easy (or hard) way of identifying which pack it is and hence which car(s) they fit? The auction was years back, so not got any way of contacting original seller. "Think" they were for a Zafira type motor.

I know Thule are quite pricey, so am keen to ebay them to start creating the Christmas pot!

    Thule footpacks and roofbars have a code on them. For example:

    Vauxhall Zafira Mk1 1998-2004 with roof rails:

    Footpack 757
    Roofbars 761

    Try selecting from this site:

    The only obviou number anywhere on the footpack is on the rubber bits that are to protect the paintework.

    The rubber footings have a 22 on them, but there's no other coding that I can see.

    Thanks for the help though.

    Some Thule bars go for a load of money - others dont.
    It tend to be the older models which go for less.
    Reason is that company car drivers change their cars every 3 years and so tend to flog off the old model. Ford Focus is a good example - Mk1 thule roofbars go for next to nothing as the range is from 97-04 so plenty of supply but not huge demand as most people out there who want them already have them.

    Mk2 04-07 go for quite a bit more.

    If you look on the thule website - download the car you think it is and see if the numbers match anything on yours.

    I saw 2 sets of thule bars today at the boot sale for £15 and £12 and they were not getting much interest. Each vehicle these days is so specific.
    Looking at the thule website there are about 12 different kits for just the Ford Focus......

    OK, it looks like the 750 rapid fit system ... but I don't know which "vehicle specific" bits have been added.

    Got the bars as well, so must have a reasonable value.
