Conti GT luggage suggestions?

[Lockhouse]

Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for luggage for my GT Speed to make the best use of the available space? It's fine for weekends but my missus like to pack for England and after a fortnight on the continent I'd like to bring home a case or two. Last time I covered the back seats in a rug and piled it high but was conscious if the luggage fitted better I'd have more room in the boot.

Cheers,

Andrew

I thought there were luggage kits to fit that were available from Bentley. Alternatively get someone to make you something.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I have succeeded over the years in soaking her clothes with both water and petrol and putting a smart white jacket under a running exhaust resulting in a speckled carbon effect. There are two possible solutions.
1. Buy a bigger car
2. Take a mate instead. Two blokes, Two sports bags and lots of room for wine!

Apparently not. At least there's not one in the catalogue (just for the Mulsanne). Bespoke is an idea, there's a couple of firms on the web that specialise according to Google.

Missus in the boot, optimise the front footwell is of course another option. Doubly so as the missus is quite squashy.

A combination of (small) hard-sided and some soft-sided works. Of course Louis Vuitton and others will gladly custom make you luggage so it all fits perfectly. As a side note, the GT didn't seem to be as easy to deal with as the GTC. With the GTC you just put the top down and I can fit far larger items in the back seat whereas it would have been impossible with the GT.
