That mostly depends on how you use (or hope to use) the car. We do 3 or 4 1000 trips each year in the TR3 & 4 and a luggage rack makes traveling much more enjoyable.
The luggage racks on those cars are no-drill mounts and easily removable when not in use so if what you have in mind involves drilling and more or less permanent mounting then aesthetics are also a concern.

Whenever my luggage rack is not in use, I take some rubber washers my grandfather and I made and some shiny new bolts w/ nuts on them. Tighten er up and it looks sleek as can be. I don't know if Tr8 uses a different system for luggage racks though.
Back in the days when I only had one TR8, I had two trunk lids. One with a rack and one without. When the wife and I would take a weekend trip in the car or whenever it was needed, I would swap the non rack lid for the lid with the rack. That way I didn't have to look at that ugly rack when I didn't have to. I have three or four of those racks stacked up in a corner of my garage I'd let go pretty cheap. Wife no longer wants to go anywhere in a TR8. If you score a lid and a rack, you can have a local body shop paint the lid to match your car for a couple hundred or less.
