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

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.

So how long is a saloon then?

by britab1967
I got it wrong, the Saloon is 12' 4", the Traveller is 12'5", it's not much but size matters, so they say!
