Is there any difference between the Vantage Coupe & the Vantage Volante with regards to rear passenger space?
Logic would say that the hood has to go somewhere, either the boot space of the rear space reducing.
Need to fit baby seat and accessories hence the question.

There is no room for a "baby" seat in either. Just possibly a booster seat, but only if you yourself are short enought to pull the front seat all the way forwards. I had a 5 year old and a 7 year old just able to sit in the back with the steering wheel on my chest (I'm 5ft 7) and my two are significantly smaller for their ages than average.

Ahhhh .... I was hoping that there might be snough space in the rear behind the passenger.
The Mrs is only 5ft 4, whilst I am 6ft 1.

If there is not enough space, looks like I need to look elsewhere.

Thanks anyway

You'd get a 7/8 Year old behind your Wife, that's about it.

One thing is critical when it comes to rear legroom and space in a DB7 Vantage ( either coupe or Volante)and that is the presence of the factory fitted "Premium Sound Pack".
If the car has this pack ( which is a tweeter, woofer and bass box), it is house in a large hump fitted between the rear seats. This not only reduces the width of these seats by also prevents a rear seat passenger stretching out into the other rear seat.
