This is a strange one but I am after some input from those of you who have a bit more experience. Despite building a roadster I don’t think I have
ever seen a “seven style” car, let alone got hands on with the proportions of one.
I have managed to buy a set of equinox bodywork for my Roadster, everything apart from the side panels, so we’re looking at the nose cone, scuttle,
bonnet, arches and rear tub.
Ironically I am about 20 minutes from equinox in Faversham and the parts I have bought are over in Wales!
How big is the rear tub? This is the part I am most concerned about to be honest. I am hoping that I can pick them up in my Countryman and avoid
hiring out a van because I’m sure 500 miles in a day will incur an additional charge of some sort. I understand there are dimensions in the book but
it’s quite hard to get a grasp of it it will all fit.
So there we go, will a equinox roadster body (excluding the side panels) fit in the back of a Mini Countryman, Place your bets!!
I think if I were trying that, I would take a roof rack.
I reckon it'll be OK - I fitted all of that except bonnet in a smaller car with no problem (back seats down of course).

Thanks very much for the replies, hugely appreciated.
The roof rack will be coming along with a collection of timbers, straps, self tappers and some zip ties just in case it doesn’t all fit. Hopefully I
will follow suit with pork chop and get it all in the car!
Hi,
You can find all measurements of every element of the Equinox Body Kit for Haynes Roadster on my Google Drive at this link:

I hired a long wheelbase transit to pick up my body panels from Equinox. It was overkill, but the untrimmed side panels were very long.
Edit, just re-read and see you've not got the side panels... I would have thought you'll be able to make it fit one way or another.
Personally I would not want to strap anything down on a roof rack...
