That looks fantastic, I love the white but I may just be a little impartial, do you get a proper load space cover or is it just a larger version of the cloth one you get on a 110?

The backs are carpeted.

Looks good.

Please give us a shot of the cargo area with the 2nd row folded down when you get a chance and a measurement from the end of the cargo area to the back of the front seats.

Looks like just the cloth one - I haven't pulled it out of its bag yet but definitely nothing solid for the load space.

Yeah it was a very discrete option on the build site where you could move the seat config from 8 seat to standard configuration. It was a bit confusing for the dealership too because they kept asking if I was sure I wanted this option because it was so uncommon (I might have been the first in this area to have ordered it as a 5 seat).

My woman and I just got done with a road trip in the 110 with two springer spaniels and no external storage. It was a hotel-staying type trip The extra space of the 130 might have been nice, but we did fine. I never considered having a third row seat. The extra space on yours looks nice. I looked at this configuration, but I really needed the front seats to go down flat and lock, and they didn't on the 130. That was a deal breaker on the 130. That, and I actually like the non-carpeted seat backs on the second row of the 110 since we keep the seat down 99% of the time. It's good to look at all the details and options and think them through for your particular needs. It took a number of trips to the dealer to sort those little details out for the actual build.

We really wanted to make a 110 work but it just wouldn't since we keep a Variocage in the vehicle at all times and the boot space was just too small in that. I would have preferred the other material on the back of the seats to keep fur from sticking and such, but there are products out there I've used for other vehicles that make canvas covers and such, so shouldn't be a huge issue.
