Currently have ford escort 75 van.

Don't know for sure will have measure up at weekend but newer vans sure won't fit in my up and over garage.

It is the common one with canopy door.

I have my eye on Citroën berlingo newer shape without a ladder rack it may fit in my garage.
With ladder rack I'd say no.

Anyone have same garage as me and exceptable size van for wfp?

Parking is a real issue where I live I go in garage, van family car goes outside.

We are lease hold and have communal car park my garage is about 50metres from our property in a block of 4 garages.

There is no electricity in garages and no way of doing that either as was thinking of a different garage door but would guess £1500 supplied fitted and think roller door would be electric.

So anyone have experience of my dilemma?

This is one of the reasons I have clutched onto current van.

Thanks lee.

Good Morning,

We have a few customers with standard pre-fab style garages who fit the new Ford Connect into them (long wheel base version as well).

Hope that helps!

[lee_dewing]

Thanks Grippa tank.
I will check that out.

Wondering if that's with or without roof rack?

Thanks.
Lee.

Your very welcome!

The customer i am thinking of has a roof rack with roller guide on it. Its a tight fit, but does fit, and he parks the vehicle in the garage every night.

When you come to looking at the new van - we can offer customers upto 30% off on Brand New Fords, so this might help you your purchase?

[lee_dewing]

30 percent wow!
Is that just a van.

Don't need anything else other than van and hopefully a roof rack 😐

Oh do you do speedier for vans?

Thanks again grappa will check out website.
Going out now gap in the rain 😁

Hi  Lee,

Thanks for your question.

This discount is on the vans only - but they often will combine these terms we have with Ford with the dealerships own deals, so it often work out to be very competitive.

We do indeed offer Speedliner, and this can be included as part of the vehicle leasing or purchased separately.

If you need prices - just drop us a line via the website!

Fancy giving us some figures?

I have a standard garage and can fit a Citroen Dispatch new shape into it, what height is the opening ?

[lee_dewing]

I get the tape measure out tomorrow morning, Sean.

I'm 6 ft tall when up and over canopy door is open it nearly touches my head.

I bet you have a roller garage door.
Lot more clearance.

I'll take a picture tomorrow and upload it also a picture worth a thousand words.

Basically measure up and get van specs.

I think it would be wise to rent a berlingo for a couple of days to see if I like it and wether it goes in the garage.
But rentals never seem to have a roof rack.

Like the idea of new shape berlingo as it has 3 seats in front or 2 ½ really but my 10 yr olds a tiddler.

Most vans won't go into garages because the up and over doors are too low.

In fact most cars with bee sting aerials also won't go in unless you unscrew the aerial.

figures for what? I'm not a van salesman

[Dave Willis]

Just a rough figure of what a new Transit costs that's all. I don't need one just curious what a new van costs these days.

Would you mind telling us what van this is and the price you negotiated?

If your buying new, get them to bring one round, make sure you can park it up. Remember you can buy new garage doors that open like barn doors.
 I had a demo van same as I wanted to buy driven round and parked in the garage before I committed to buying .
