It is a lovely Traveller all still very original, I bought it from a lady in a village near Snetterton Circuit so it may be your uncles, would be interested in any history if it is the same car

Traveller rear roof size

Hi Does anyone know the size of the rear roof section of a Traveller? I need to know if it will fit in the back of a Landrover Discovery.
