I think you need a Citroen CX Safari, 76.7 Cu ft!

Peugeot 505 Estate trumps it at 79.1cu ft i believe

65.3 cubic feet, apparently. 

67.8 for a Superb, so pretty close.  And the Superb is the largest load capacity estate on sale in the UK. 

TIL that Superb has bigger cargo capacity than absolutely cavernous BX Break. Wow. 🤯

Love the Carlton. My dad wanted one a post 1986 ones (so long as it was at least GL spec) but had to settle with a Rekord based one. The Omega based ones were commonly high mileage ex company car fodder.

Good news @Six-cylinder, I’ve found my box of old radios! So the 1.8 GL could have a lovely period radio.

Philips DC751 was the upgrade for early Carltons, but I can't find the standard model number.

That Radiomobile one brings back memories?
