Luggage compartment? "boot","trunk"

Post by 51MAN »

Hi
Where can I find some dimensions of the front luggage compartment for a 412?
Whats the biggest cylinder shape you could get in? ie between the suspension turrets and floor to bonnet (hood)
How deep to the bottom of the spare wheel hole?

Can anyone mail me a couple of good underbonnet shots?

I am trying to see if I can fit a reasonable size LPG tank in there..

Thanks

The front boot is huge! It will easily fit an LPG tank, however, unless you buy a variant (wagon) you will not have much room left for your baggage.

I'll email you a couple of pictures. If you still need the dimensions, please let me know and i'll dive under the bonnet with a tape measure.

cheers, Jan Peter

Thanks Jan Peter
Well a wagon would be nice, but I wouldnt be too worried about luggage space.. The fuel savings are worth it!!
My Caravelle has been on LPG for 5 years..
