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.

Yes its a roller door Lee I think it opens to about 7ft, the Dispatch is 1942mm or 6ft 5 inches, have a look on Ebay as you can
get some cheap roller doors that might do but even if you get one made they don't cost the earth and don't need to be electric, mine isn't.

Thanks Sean.
Was trying to find that out on the net, was worried would have to be electric for roller door.

No electric in garage.
Also I'd better contact powers that be as I'm lease hold.
Shouldn't be a problem I hope.

What make is your garage door, cardale etc?

Mine was made by Garage Door Systems its just a steel non insulated manual roller door, have had it for around 20
years and it does the job.

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.

I'm not a gypo so how would I know how much  a new tranny van costs,

find out yourself!

walk into any main dealership and they will give you more than 30 percent discount, I have ordered a new van with 40 percent discount from a main dealer!

no one pays list price!

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

its a fiat doblo maxi, with 40 percent off list price, and 40 percent off all the extra options I wanted, I would put some pictures up but its not here yet takes 8-14 weeks to arrive
