Yes mines the same size as Cams.
Do you not have a tape measure where the car resides (clue its 14ft ish)

umm yes, but the car is residing about 100miles from me!!

Hi, My '59 Traveller is about 12' 4" which is what the manual says. ( had to guess because I've striped it down to restore it but I did check in the manual). In my case restoring means a whole new floor pan, sills and front end, but it keeps me off the streets.

Take the overriders off! That'll give you an extra 4" to play with.

Take the overriders off!

This is for Matt! I expect it'll not even have the bumpers soon...

And there was I hopeing someone would repley with a witty comment about Matt playing with his 4"!

Not sure if I meant due to stripping it or driving it?

....yes, but you'll also have two really neat retro-shaped chrome ashtrays!

I was asking what he thought - I certainly never said it....

So how long is a saloon then?

Post by **britab1967** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 9:25 pm

I got it wrong, the Saloon is 12' 4", the Traveller is 12'5", it's not much but size matters, so they say!

Ray...... I had no idea what you were suggesting..... so say it here
