All - I have posted previously asking some of the usual questions about the ins and outs of Cerbie ownership - one thing that I have not answered is about boot space. I have tested a couple of Cerbs in the past, and will again in the near future, but I have realised that I haven't ever looked in the boot.

Would someone do me a favour and either post or point me in the direction of some piccies of the inside of a Cerbera boot?

Thanks - and sorry for the dumb request!

[arcbeer]

No piccies I'm afraid but I can assure you it's big (two sets of golf clubs on top of each other, room to spare down the sides.)

[Mrs BlueCerbera]

I think I might have some .... hang on, will go searching down back of desk for CD.

[GCerbera]

It's a Tardis in there!

Had 10 bags of shopping, kit bag, tools, etc with space to spare.

[Mrs BlueCerbera]

Here we go ....

(excuse the large amp in the boot, previous owner fitted it very nicely and we haven't had the guts to try to take it out yet )

They're not great but might give you an idea



and this one



Certainly loads of room. We went camping the other weekend and managed to fit the following in ; 5 person tent, 4 airbeds, 4 sleeping bags, food for weekend, clothes for weekend, camping stoves, kids toys ...... etc etc (sounds like the generation game)

Big enough to make a Cerbie a full 5 seater

Thanks everyone!
It's hard to get an impression of the scale from those pics... do you think a pushchair would go in there?
Folds up to about 2 feet wide, 3 1/2 feet long, 1 foot deep...
As you may have noticed from this post and previous ones, I'm slowly building my ammunition, so no attempt at rebuffing my idea of blatant practicality can slip past me!

[Mrs BlueCerbera]

Boot opening measures 17inches x 40inches. 18inches deep at shallowest point. Conservative measurements there.

(How's that for service?)

Pushchairs that fold umbrella-style fit in quite easily. The travel systems that fold flat are more difficult (sounds like yours is one of those). If in doubt, buy cheap £20 pushchair from Mothercare for those Cerbie days out !!

[trooper1212]

Not too sure on the measurements, but you can fit a mini-moto in if you fold down the handlebars and still have room for a can of fuel and the bike stand.

Hope that helps

Hi
I've just had a long weekend in the New Forrest with the wife and a 2.5yr old. We had a very large bag, pushchair and a couple of smaller bags. Loads of room for a UK holiday.

Cheers

John

Large Samsonite fits absolutely no probs ....

If your push chair doesn't you could always change to the above ....

What no cuddly toys or a fondue set?

Two sets of golf clubs will go in easily. I've actually had two sets plus trolleys and shoes in there before, but now the trolleys don't fit because the boot has a 5l container of water, socket set, compressor, tyre pressure gauge, 1l container of oil, Allen keys and a torch in it

[easto]

Monthly shop - no probs....and i eat a sh*t load of food!!!!
and same as above - 2 golf bags etc...reckon it would go to 3.
deceivingly large...

[FourWheelDrift]

I'll see your 2 golf bags and raise you 2 golf trolleys.

[easto]

I'll see yure 2 bags...WITH trolleys and raise you a crate of beer...AND 2 pairs of shoes!

I will die trying! but i suppose thats another reason why i bought a 4 seater!

[J_S_G]

Managed to move house in the Cerb. In one go, I fitted (not just in the boot):
* All of my clothes
* All of my shoes
* Two laptops
* Stereo
* PS2/DVD Player
* Food for a week
* Toiletries, etc.
* Couple of plants
* Collection of about 100 DVDs, and a selection of CDs
* Books
* Coffee table
* Microwave
* Kettle
* Toaster
* Couple of lamps
* Alarm clock/wall clocks
* Couple of framed pictures
* Plenty of ornaments
* Usual Tiv spares
* Sleeping bag + duvet + pillow

And if that doesn't sound impressive...
* And a futon.

Such value for money!

Was more cramped than having someone off Fat Club be a passenger in the Elise, but I was shocked at how much you could fit in if you REALLY tried, and REALLY didn't care that you had to be double jointed to change gear.

Ah hell - I'll have to print this thread off and show the missus... ...
I might as well swap the estate in now!
I'm running out of reasons not to!
Does anyone know of any Southern TVR dealers that take really cr&p estate cars in part-ex?!
