Hi

 Got a Brompton and scheming to buy a Mk3 in the Spring, but need to be sure the bike goes in the boot.  Can anyone advise?

 Thanks

 The boot is pretty small but depending on wheel size and how flat it folds in half it may fit but I think your problem may be the opening rather than the overal size of the boot.
Best bet is to take it down to a dealer and try it.

The Brompton factory are in the process of building me a B-Spoke S2L-X and from all accounts it should fit into the boot of my 1991 MX5. Bike should be here in about a month and then I will take some photos.

 I also have a Dahon MU SL (super lightweight folding bike) with 20” wheels and I know that will not fit without removing both wheels.

I don’t know how MK1 and MK3 boots compare.
