Can't see what's going on there. Have you run over some cyclists on the way up the mountain?

The answer is simple; 968. I did many 10s of 1000s of miles in mine, many with a bike or even 2 plus weekend luggage in it! Before that I had a 944 (which has already been mentioned) which is just as practical etc but for me the 968 is the 'ultimate 944'

It's a pre war tandem, dismantled and strapped to the spare wheel of our Frazer Nash. TBH it was a troublesome load due to the 'firmness' of the rear suspension.....fun trip though, Boulogne Bike Rally, followed by a week ripping around in Champagne area. The car's first journey following 50 years in bits, being cannibalised..... That was '95, still have, tandem, 'Nash and wife! Racing the Nash at Mallory on Sunday :) :) Can't wait.

My Scott Speedster Gravel will fit in the back of the 356 with the wheels seperate, so there's the answer. I've never had the Porsche W nk r treatment in the 356......

Epic! Thanks. Good luck on Sunday.
Yep, 356 is a good shout, I think.

How are the brakes on a 1930s tandem? I’d imagine utterly terrifying.
