Think you might struggle [even if it's possible at all] trying to fit one in a saloon,but in an estate I'd say yes it'll fit.

I will be taking the Estate - so good news thank you, it looked like it would but couldn't be 100% sure  :y

Hopefully I will be able to get the bits to put the 2.2 estate back together.

The Blue LPG one, No, the Local Council took a shine to it, when my back was turned.  ::)

Good news is I have a nice looking Black 1.6 GSi one now, just need to find a LPG kit for it  ;)

Yes is the answer to the question... fold the seats down and it slots straight in and sits on the wheel arches ;)

Won't fit in a Vectra C estate though... (too narrow due to different wheel arch arrangement :-X)

You can get a Capri bonnet in a Capri. Although a 2.0l Pinto falls out the back of a mk5 Cortina estate if the boot latch is sticky ;D  I hope this helps someone, as I wish the owner of the Cortina had told me when he lent me the car!
