Cycle carrier for old style corsa?

katmcleod

I'm having real trouble finding a cycle carrier for our car. We've just recently got bikes, baby seat is still in the mail and we're rearing to go. We have a 3dr vauxhall corsa, the older style model out from 2000 to 2006, I found a picture of the same model here http://sunderland.gumtree.com/posting_i ... _big__.jpg

There is foam round the bottom of the boot so I don't think a strap can go under the boot door. We don't have a tow bar either. Been hunting the net for days trying to figure this out and Halfords were less than helpful!

Can anyone offer advise? Or does anyone have a similar hatchback car with a carrier they can recommend, or warning that we avoid certain ones.

As when buying bike stuff, try a LCAS(local car accessory shop) or a vauxahll ealer thought the dealer option will be much more expensive. The local car shop might have a couple of racks available or a catalogue for reference.

I got a cheap universal one from Cycle King in Rayners Lane Middx. Fits the back of my Zafira just fine. The various straps ensure you get a good tight fit. Think it was £25 and can get our 3 moutain bike on with a squeeze.
