the height of the roof line is 1500mm, mine is 1600mm, not good news
they say the ground clearance is 160mm, wonder where that was measured? i measured to the floor pan near the jacking point, i got 350mm, i guess i got that wrong!

anyone with a standard bug (a bog standard bug) could you please measure the height for me, floor to height of roof. thanks.
