Default Usable Trunk Space C7 Stingray Convertible?

When the top is up, can the area reserved for the top (by the partition) be used for stowage?

How much space is there? HxWxD dimensions available?

Ok, I finally put the load in the car. The bags are not full but I will include the measurements of the items at their "full" values.

Black suitcases: 22 1/2" long, 12" wide, 13" thick (Height As Seen)

PC bag between suitcases: 18" long, 13" wide, 5" thick (H.A.S.)

Red Bag on top of PC bag: 9" long, 9" wide, 5" thick (H.A.S.)

Brown bag at right: 22 1/2 inches long, 15" wide, 12" thick (H.A.S.)

Big Red Bag: 20" long (L-R),8" Wide, 11" thick (H.A.S)

Camera case: 12" (L-R), 8" wide, 8 1/2" thick (H.A.S.)


As you can see, it all fits just fine with a couple of spots for small junk. All of this and I STILL have room for the fire extinguisher sitting on the rear center floor of the trunk!


The final picture is all of the items sitting on the floor in a plan similar to the one in the car.
