Vantage Roadster boot space query
Discussion
Hi All,
Having had a DB9 for a couple of years before moving it on, I am now looking at a V8 Vantage. Having test driven a coupe and roadster, I am veering towards the roadster, but am worried by the boot size.
Strange query - has anyone fitted a cricket bag (c 100 x 35 x 35cm) into the boot? I'd rather not have to stick it on the front seat. There is some scope to get a different shaped bag, but the volume will be similar. Perhaps a golf bag or similar has been carried - anyone?
Failing any feedback, I'll have to go over and try the bag for size, but hoping I can save a 2 hour round trip at this stage.
Thanks,
David

Hi
I get a set of golf clubs and sports bag in the boot with ease, the boot is actually shaped to fit a set in. I would assume that a cricket bag would also therefore fit as it’s not as long as a golf bag.
As added information the suitcase size which l find fits snug standing on side is 700mm long x 500mm wide x 290mm deep leaving the two side area for odds and ends.
Hope that helps and good luck with the car.

The bags are typically regular oblong shaped, so yes, current one is 35 x 35cm along its whole length. I could find a longer bag, with more capacity and this would enable some 'squeezing' of the sides perhaps, but I am hoping not to damage the car by repeatedly forcing an oversized bag in.
I feel another excuse to look at a roadster coming on...

Quick update - I went back to the dealer yesterday, with my cricket bag. The bag measures around 95cm x 35 x 36cm. It didn't quite fit in, but once I had removed the largest items (pair of batting pads),the bag fitted in, sideways. The pads then fitted just resting on top of the bag. The Roadster remains practical for me. Yippee!
There was a little additional room either side. I would estimate a bag of c 100cm x 50cm (base of boot to lid) x 25cm would fit, with a little additional space for small, soft items around.
