Atera strada is way i went and its brilliant. Lightweight very easy to put on, very strong and it moves out the way easy. 5 stars from me. Can take some pics if you want.

Strada for me too.
Outstanding piece of kit and my three bike version can be added to to make it a four biker.
Not cheap, but you'll not regret it and it will last a lifetime.

I bought a three-cycle carrier last month to use for the children's bikes, assembled it but then the wife decided it was too much hassle...  so it's never been used, I tried it on our D3 towbar to see if it works (which it does) and took it off again. It tilts away from the vehicle so you can still open the tailgate.
Iirc I paid about £110 for it, but you can have it for £80.
If you're interested pm me your email address and I'll send you some photos over.
Regards

I've got an old one of these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Twinny-Load-Off-Ro...B000NNRBLA
Which could go to a new home. They are very sturdy and strong. It's done many miles in the spray behind may car so it's not in pristine condition. It works perfectly with our bikes but the bolts that need to be undone to adjust it to fit other bikes have seized so will require tools, perseverance, brute force and WD40 to fit it to new bikes.
Yours for £20 if you collect it (far too heavy and awkward to post).

Many thanks for the offer JonM, but if I add fuel on, it makes it too expensive.
I know I am being picky but could really do with a thule or alteraa one as the bikes are worth a couple of grand each that will be going on it. So they seem the best one for keeping them secure and stop them rubbing together or knocking together during transportation.
And one that is fairly close to where I live.
Think I need to bite the bullet and buy a brand new one  d4 HSE in Corris Grey with Black options pack

Bite the bullet!! New atera has 2 yr warranty. With all discounts it was £300 next day delivered, which to secure £2k worth of bike ain't to bad and it will always have value if you need to sell.
