Rob I don't know if you have an answer to this by now, but I have a friend who transports his wheelchair in a box attached to the roof of his car, which he operates electrically from inside the car. When operated (I don't know if it is a one switch operation or more complicated) the box tilts, and the wheelchair which is attached to a hoist descends to the ground. He unhooks the wheelchair, sends the hoist back into the box, and the box returns to the level. Repeat in reverse to replace the chair in the box. If you want more info on this, let mw know and I'll get in touch with him.
