Car Rack

Saris Bones for the back of a car like that - available in halfords - about £100, pricy but just
about the best boot mount rack available and will fit most small sports cars / roadsters.

To go better than that get a towbar fitted and get a pendle or similar tobbar mounted rack.

Not at all - but I would seriously recommend having a towbar fitted and using a towbar-mounted rack,
rather than the Merc roof mount system or a hang-on rack. Although watching the bike moving around
ona boot-mounted rack when you press the Big Red Switch would be rather amusing :-)

Towbar mounted is a good way to go. I use one in conjunction with a removable tow hitch so that the
car looks ok when not using the carrier. A lot of miles covered and so far nothing has fallen off.
