Default WTB: Boot rack for s2000

I'm looking for a boot rack to fit onto my s2000. Its primary usage will be to transport a folding bike, in a carry-bag, to a location before switching to the bike.
In case anyone has alternative/better suggestions, the bike is a Riese u. Müller 'Birdy', if that makes any difference, which it appears will not fit inside the boot itself.
Time scale: first trip, late Feb/early March, but need to collect the bike late January.

I have a FAPA Unispider rack, which has a weight limit of 20kg.

Here's a pic:
And another:

Thanks for the replies. I guess I should have made it more clear I was hoping that a member had one for sale.
I'm aware of boot-bag.com (and their dozens of alias web-sites). They do have a "made in Italy" rack (but from an unnamed supplier), that is perhaps a little short in the back to front dimension, but (heaven-forbid) wouldn't want a bike in a boot-bag sitting on my boot-lid.
Sadly the FAPA doesn't seem available any more. A shame since it seems deeper back to front.

Will give it a couple of weeks, in the hope a member has one for sale, and then bite the bullet.

Sorry astage I knew what you meant but was giving alternatives. The wife wouldn't be happy if I sold my boot bag, travel light I said!! Good luck in your search!

I should have made it clearer I'd be willing to let go of mine, PM with an offer.

Alternatively, you might consider a bike rack. The Saris bones was very popular but have search for other options, there are a number of threads on the subject.

Thanks, Lovegroova! I'll send a PM later.
The Birdy Rohloff folds up, so a normal bike rack is a non-starter. The picture below is of a lower spec' model, but you get the idea :

Looking forward to getting the bike, and the first tours in Germany and The Netherlands - just hope the weather improves!

P.S. Don't look at the Birdy Rohloff's price if you've a weak heart!
