I would imagine so, if not you'll just have to sleep on the roof :(
my uncle is 6,7 and he slept in his saxo vtr..?

well the point was that a saxo vtr is smaller and my uncle is 6,7 and he just folded the seats and still slept well.
so im saying it will be easy in a clubman estate.

i was just helping out lol.

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.

Those roof tents are a great idea. I haven't seen one since IMM 2002.

The load bed in a mini van is a little under 5 feet long. Asuming you shoved the seats right forwards and could tip the backs forward somehow (if you have aftermarket seats) you could put a board across the gap between the seats and the load bed, probably giving you a total of around 5 1/2 - 6 feet length, although the board would be "uphill" somewhat.
