Ok, we are contemplating the idea of getting a slightly older people-mover. To be used as a workhorse/van.
However anybody have any recomendations as to which one's you can fit a 996 into the back of. Any body have any experiance of these things.

Renault Espace or one of the Galaxy/Sharan family usually turn up a fair bit at track days or race meets with a 99* on board Roy.

Any particular incarnation of Espace?

yeah, mine! a 1994 model.
Need to take the screen off, but w/o screen it goes in easy. Bullet proof cars as well so a great workhorse.
Selling mine soon...

I've been throwing the 996 into my Kia Sedona for three years now. If required, it will take the bike AND 4 passengers, or the bike, two pax, spare wheels, tool boxes, generator, stands etc etc. And with the original screen on the 996 you didn't need to take the screen off.

I've just chopped mine in for the new model Sedona, so there are plenty of older model jobs around for very little money. Find the right one and I reckon you could pick up a three year old turbo diesel for circa £7 - 8k

I had use of a Ford Galaxy for a few years. My 748's went happily in the back of that. I just had to remove the plexiglass windscreen and the bike went in fine. Front wheel wedged between the armrests of the two front seats and it stayed upright on it's own. Used ratches only to stop it 'backing out' of it's wedged position when I pulled away.

More mod cons than most vans and a better power/speed capability too.
