Looks cool. I think the hight in the back might be double the one of the foldable boxes.
So if you want to transport a battery or something, it will be a no go.

Offcourse we can't force you, still I think I will wait until you have the time to take it out.
Worth waiting for. (and for now, thanks for the idea)

As you are forcing me (lol,) and the weather is good I will try and do it tomorrow for you.

As you can see from one of the photos I keep a large aluminium cased tool box in the box and behind that is a full set of imperial sockets. Then to the side I have wash and polish stuff with spare engine oil, steering and brake fluid. It just keeps all that stuff out of sight at car shows so when I take out the table and chairs the boot floor is clear so I can lay out some documents and brochures relating to the S Type for people to see.

Wow, that's the spirit.
I didn't want to force you, but now I'm looking forward to it.

I'll get my sawing machine ready for the weekend ;)

when looking at my boot, I realised I did not have the same space
as yours. The former owner produced a shelve for the speakers.
So the hight of my box had to be less.

I produced the following (out of an old radio cabinet)

on the right side I place my stuff (oil, lamp,...) and left I placed a toolbox
(another round one is placed in the spare wheel, I know it's too much, but
I can't help it)

On top I placed a led light, so I can see which tool I have to take out when
it's dark.

I ordered one of the boxes 40 cm as showed on the former pictures
(which should be just the space needed), so I can orden things a bit.

the safety belt is there to keep the cabinet in place

The most useful thing I bought back in 2019 is a rotatable magnetic LED mechanic's light. As a lead light replacement. Holds charge forever & I've never run the battery flat. Time & time again proven helpful when I can't see what I'm doing. Extremely bright. Has a flashlight in the end.
