I bought a car with a dual-socket tow bar on for £400, it's done about 15k miles in two years and is still going fine, just sailed through it's MOT again

Sorry. I haven't got the bike yet.

Having checked measurements though, I reckon I'll need to remove the small rear seat completely, then tuck a wheel into that corner and put the bike diagonally across the space. That looks like it will work with a decent safety margin on the measurements.

That's correct.  If you remove the other seat you can get two in - one nose first, one backwards.  I made a box to fill the footwell which makes it much easier as the front wheel does not then need to be lifted out.

I was thinking about the box idea too, to, in effect, extend the load platform. I'll come round to that when I have the bike and work out the details. I believe the van version has an extra steel panel in there that covers the rear footwell and pushes the load platform right up to the back of the front seats.

But the van has a bulkhead which prevents the forward movement of the seats giving a little more room.
