Was wondering if a clubman estate with back seats taken out will sleep 2 people, tallest being 6'1"?

Im probably dreaming

anyone know the lengths?

[Gingerjoe]

Yea I saw people sleeping in the back of theres at southern mini day! :]

[wilcooper]

[Gingerjoe]

oooh haha! well im 6 ft. Just have to curl your legs up abit?! haha, mate I slept in my saloon clubman at soutern mini day, forgot my tent. hahaha, first night tryed to sleep on back seat, not a good idea, next day & I slept on passanger seat, with my legs over into the driver seat foot well! worked much better :]

We made custom folding seats for Toad (our Traveller), that fold completely flat [unlike the originals]... but you'd still not fit in there!!

You would be curled up so tight like a little mouse that you'd get cramp within a few minutes...... good luck trying though

If theyre the same length as a van, I could lie down in the back up to about my shins and im 5"11!! So yes you could, but you'd either have to curl up or keep the rear doors open!

me and a friend slept in my saloon with fixed buckets...

was not comfortable to say the least.

Does anyone have any measurements of an estate, from the back doors to the passenger seats?

Hoping to get one soon, be fun to go camping, the guys out in the wet feild, me all cozy in the back of the estate.

I'll go out and check for you. If I can find me tape measure.

Thanks benb12

I can remember seeing a foreign Mini Estate at a Mini Show and the owner had a tent on top of the roof rack (plus a little ladder).

So chances are he slept in that the night before?

[benb12]

3 feet 11 inches.

Thanks benb12.

Damm my not so short shortness, I figure if I can get the passenger seat to fold down, there will be plenty of room for me to enjoy watching them in the field of rain.

[benb12]

That wouldn't work because of the way the back seat folds. The bottom of the seat folds forward against the back of the front seats, and the back of the back seat folds completely flat. Bit hard to follow so I'll try and get a pic.

[minijmoore]

Yup, I know what you mean I think. A bit of modification and I think I can get it to work, made a super pic with my super paint skills.
