Only good looking rack IMO is Safety Devices - but need to look hard, and it will be from second hand.
Others look like tratter def or disco
, but if you need only functionality you can go for Hannibal Expedition, Brownchurch , or get something that will fit on your standard roof rails (some platform) like LR Expedition rack (quite noisy) or other basket/platform type.

Any pics? Let me see what it looks like might do the same myselfNope didnt find but made a custom from an old Volkswagen roofrack instead. Does the job for now
Here u go. As you can see its just a Volkswagen roofrack placed on the rails. Does the job for the moment. Im driving about 1000km each week, both highway and offroad. Easy to remove the rack when I dont need it, or just want to place my mtb on the roof.

They're all like hens teeth to get.. Any new ones you manage to get will cost a small fortune.. Best keep an eye on sell sites and scrap yards..

Kind of difficult to fit on the 3-door. Unless you have the hen's teeth roof rails. Even crappy rail sets with bits missing get £100+ these days.
I'm liking the black wheels against the body's blue which I'm guessing it's 849 Cairns blue. I've just bought a Cairns blue SE and was thinking about black rims on it. I have D3 that has black rims so like to look.Got one of these roof rack, from direct4x4

Thanks Nodge, yeah, you're right, it's Cairns blue. Bought the rims of flea bay, £42 for the 5 (bargain!) and refurbed them myself in satin black. I think they look better than the original alloys it came with.

Reckon the roof rack would look better in black too??

I might go gloss black like my D3 rims. I do wish my beloved Pirelli ATR were available in a Freelander compatible size.

Slightly oversize, but they do fit Freelander rims
