Boot Dimensions

[seaside]

This may seem like an odd question but as I am currently in the US I can't check this myself...

Can anyone confirm the dimensions of the boot space and the shelf behind the seats on a pre-cat Griff?
I am trying to work out which of the suitcases/bags will fit as I am coming back soon and picking it up for a nice little drive and vacation down to Bath and South Wales.

I would bring a small soft bag myself, and I am trying to control what my better half brings but you know how it is!! ...guess I will be driving with the top on

No idea on boot size...... but I'm sure you can fit her in the boot

If a 99 500 will do, will happily measure in the morning.

@5.0ltr that would be great if you could. I know that every one of our Griffs is probably a little bit different but I can't imagine the size of the boot can change dramatically.
Thanks much!

Paul sorry for delay, such a great day here had to go for a drive. All v approx. boot opening width at rear 35" above no plate, width at tank 41". Internal 59" across 14" deep at bottom of boot 18" across top of tank to bootlock. Rear shelf. 38" wide x14" deep carpet area. 14" becomes 18" if using part of whale tail. Hope that's clear? Bob.

Bob, that is great! I would have done the same thing if I was there

I may not be reading this correctly but which of the numbers is the depth from the lid to the bottom?
Thanks again,
Paul

None of them! Just been out again, Floor of boot to under lid at rear of car 17", against tank 27" to lid. HTH.

Apart from the rear (fuel tank) everything is curved, so squashy bags will definitely be better than hard square suitcases. Don't forget the sides too, they're like hamster cheeks!

yep, soft bags are the order of the day.

@Hoover ... the missus won't fit in the boot. She is quite hard and edgy and would beat me up for sure if I even suggested it.

You could put her giant pink suitcase full of shoes on the passenger seat, and her on the parcel shelf.

Be quieter though

Just wanted to say thanks for the boot info and some pics....
here is a before


...and after packing the bags in the boot.



The sides of the boot are great for backpacks and then the soft'ish wheelie holdalls fit in the middle...
