Spare wheel carrier on a classic

Mate of mine had a 3.9 Vogue and the tank was fitted behind the rear seat. Later he had two "Torpedo" tanks fitted underneath and still kept the spare wheel in the usual place. Swing-away carriers are available but they look like sh*te.
 
Ive got got air suspention fitted so sill tanks are out, 7 seats so rear seat tank is out.
Dont want to start messing around with roofracks either,
Ive heard if tanks that replace the 95ltr petrol tank with a 33ltr and gas combined but not sure where to get one.
 
And making the steering a job lot heavier, and require reinforcing of the bonnet, and making lifting the bonnet a mission(unless yer geoff capes) and reducing visibilty and potentially being ilegal.
 
I honestly can't remember how much it cost - it was 4 or 5 years ago. It has been on the car all the time on all sorts of roads and never given me a problem. Tend to dismantle once a year to grease the moving surfaces.
It was supplied with very easy to follow instructions and fitted perfectly at first try
 
Sorry if i've missed it, but where can you get these? I have the same prob for my RRC as its got a 100L LPG tank in the boot.
I have seen another option, where a small rack is bolted to the rear of the roof and the spare carried this way, but not sure i fancy drilling through the roof.
