Ha ha ha.

John...can you get a 3 metre work top in...and close the door?

 

[trapperjohn]

Yep thats what they do, its the way they roll. My year '99 will do all that. What a pity its so rust prone.

Ooooh...too much information.

My father had a W123 280TE estate. I remember him squeezing in a unfeasably long worktop. So long that it was touching the windscreen, and resting on the passenger street headrest, which acted just like a pivot when he pushed the other end down to close the tailgate

Careful with the hearse

Not quite touching the windscreen...but passenger seat folded flat:

That looks like 28mm, you cheapskate .

Its for my shed...but you are correct...£35 from B&Q.

I've got a C250 Estate as a courtesy car at the moment. I was surprised how small it was in the back with the seats folded. Wonder what the shooting brake is like.

If you got it from B&Q I'm surprised it hasn't got a "natural" curve to fit over the seat and under the dash

I admit you can't do that in mine. I still love mine though.

Estates are great - our Vito Long has caging for the dogs in the back so ironically we often end up using Mrs BTB's Audi to shift things. But that's a tiddler compared to an E Class

And if there is no room left inside, stick on top, or out the back:

Pfffttt - call that a boot...

THIS is a boot - get your load in without even putting the BACK seats down!

Can you fit a 3metre worktop though?
