Can anyone tell me the internal length of a 109 bed?

3 door or 5 door?
And while I'm asking questions, what year is the tub?

2 door.  Although i'd be interested to know about the CSW as well.  As to age - is there a difference, then? I thought all 109s were the same.  The question is 'generic' though - I'm wondering whether a 109 would suit me more than the Disco now that I've stopped doing 30k a year.  Pref pre-'74 though.

You can get a 6ft 6in door in the back but it will be on a slight angle.

Mountain bike fits with plenty of space to spare

Cheers.  Not as long as Id hoped,

Shame.  May still get one if I can get a tax exempt one cheap enough though.

I used to have a 109 van type series 3 and I could lie down in the back easily and I am 5ft 10.

I've lay down flat in the back of a 109 V8.  I'm about 6ft 1" and that seemed to be near its limit.  Maybe another inch or so.  I would have slept in it so it wasn't that crampt (much much nicer than caross the cab of the series 1, legs folded round the steering wheel).
