Traveller interior dimensions

[stag36587]

Hi guys, I recently sold my 2 door saloon and am considering buying a Traveller (though to avoid marital strife, I will probably need to sell a very nice mark 1 Renault Twingo).

Occasionally I have to move musical instruments so I need to check interior space. Please could someone let me have interior dimensions... particularly the length from the dashboard to the rear doors?

Thanks!

91 inches from just below the rear door locks to the centre of the speedo. (And being nosey, what is it? A drum kit? Double bass? A very tall wife?) Regards from MikeN.

Depending on what seats are fitted, and based on driver only, no passengers, you can fold passenger seat and rear seat, which allows thinner items to rest in the foot well or on the parcel shelf, thus gaining a few more inches if needed; but it would depend on what support was needed along the length of whatever it is being transported. They are exceedingly practical and versatile cars

Fabulous, thanks for the replies! I need to transport a harpsichord, which is 2m long and very thin at it's tail end. Sounds like a traveller would be ideal, especially if I can find one with a folding front passenger seat

A further thought, Mr Stag: obviously you can get larger things in a Traveller by running with the rear doors open. (Somewhere I've a wooden spreader that holds the doors apart with elastics to secure them.) But even with my door windows wound down the exhaust gases still somehow curl up into the cabin making an awful pong. My solution is to fit a right angle copper central heating fitting secured with a hose clip to the end of the exhaust pipe so the gases are directed downward.
Note, exhaust pipes were imperial sizes so I use an 1 and 1/4 inch internal diameter fitting, and perhaps modern pipes are now metric(?) Such imperial fittings are probably now only obtainable from older specialized plumber suppliers; I got mine from Woodstock Plumbing and Heating Supplies, South Way Andover. (Such parties also hold odd things like BSPT threaded stuff for Minor drainplugs. They're very cheap. Woodstock are amused to think they're the "go to" place for MM spares.)

Irrespective of model if you have the rear open on an estate the physics of airflow will make fumes enter the inside.
I've experienced it with several cars; basically moving forward creates a lower pressure immediately at the rear, which pulls in air from further out, which invariably involves exhaust fumes...
