I've not yet bought my Bongo
So I'm still considering all the options.
Will an elevating roof conversion mean that I cannot get into some car parks

With the AFT it is 2.1m, so it won't fit in some carparks - mainly multi stories. The lowtop is 2m - so still restricted from most multi story car parks which tend to limit at 1.8m or so.

Looking in the positive side, you get to drive your beloved more as you search for car parks. But seriously, its not caused me any problem. I cant get in the local dump, but there is another one a little further off. And as I can put wheelie bins in the back of the Bongo I just put stuff in them, take them out and walk them past the cars queuing for their turn at the dump.
Just noticed you are from Woodbridge. I bought Mango Bongo from a guy in Woodbridge. She had an 'MPV' registration number just because thats what they give Bongos that are imported through Ipswich. Great huh!
Good luck with your Bongoing

You can usually find out about height restrictions at public car parks by going online. I live near Norwich, and many of the city centre car parks are fine for my Bongo AFT. Usually height restrictions are clearly posted at the car park entrance, giving you an opportunity to do a u-turn. I would not let the height put you off buying an AFT.
