Boot size

[AndyO]

Hi all - I am contemplating buying a Chim but have one thing I need to be sure about before I start trying to find 'the one'.

My other half is in a wheelchair - it's not that big but it doesn't fold. I can't find photos or dimensions of the boot anywhere though I understand it's a reasonable size for this type of car. Could anyone e-mail me some boot pics ? and dimensions ? (narrowest width and depth & height)

cheers

Andy,

No pics to hand, but I'll take some for you if it will help.

My best guess it that a standard w'chair will fit - based on my experience of a 'chair bound mate of mine (although never tried to get it in the Chim to be honest), backed up by the fact that I can get my mountain bike in the boot without too much trouble.

Whereabouts are you? I'm sure you can find a friendly Chim owner to pop round to try it out...

Cheers

4 minutes for a reply reply at this hour - not bad. I'm in Northampton. Pics would be most helpful - if you are able to send some that would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know if this helps, but a folding one goes in easily with luggage so it is a route you could take. Get the dealer to throw one in with the price!

How about a nice pair of 9 1/2's


Sorry, couldn't resist
