Sorry Bruce, no shipping to Europe or Australia...
That is why I built my own.

Doesn't how any of the hardware that actually mounts the tyre.   Still cheap though, as the chrome plating of my rear bumper part cost AU$550.00

My 1970 Cadillac DVC really has good trunk space with the spare, never really needed more.  I know the 1971 - 76 Eldorado convertibles were low on trunk volume and a cont. kit is not a bad idea.  This style is the way to go.  Not a fan of the extend the entire back bumper out two feet.

I easily filled my trunk up when I drove it to San Marcos this past summer.  It'd be a lot better without the tire in the trunk, but I wouldn't put a continental kit on it to solve my space problem...Perhaps too many tools, spare parts and fluids....

Looks like a great way to make poor  gas mileage even worse, and an already-long car maybe not fit in the garage. My recently-departed '71 Eldorado had more space in the trunk than I ever found use for, and hanging that monstrosity off the back of the car and ruining what I think is one of the best viewing angles makes zero sense.

Bolting a trash can lid over a spare wheel bolted to the bumper bar of a classic Cadillac is a sure fire way to ugly up a nice car.
