Can I get one????

I imagine it would clamp to the tow ball but would teh spare tyre on the rear door cause any issues?

You can get them that go onto the spare wheel itself which may be a better solution.

Only mount on the spare wheel if you have a solid carrier and not just mounted to the rear door.

Have a look at Bak-Rak.

They do a whole host of different mounts that go on the ball including a bike rack.

I've just got a Maxx Raxx carrier for my VW transporter They do one with a kink in the upright so the bikes sit clear of the spare wheel.

I've got a Land Rover bike carrier for up to 4 bikes I think.
It bolts to the tow ball plate and if you step on a lever at the bottom allows the whole frame to roll back away from the car for access into the car through the back door.

I could try to get you the part number if you're interested.
