I'm soon going to be buying a Sony 40 inch tv but I need to be able to fit it in my car for the drive back to Germany at the end of my leave. Anyone had any experience with this??

Can I fit a 40" TV in an S3?

As long as you don't try watching it while you drive you should be OK!
Seriously though, it should fit if it is an LCD one as it can be stowed on the flat. you're not supposed to transport a plasma any way other than vertically.

Yes it fits. I brought home a Sony Bravia 40" TV. Be careful how you support the TV as the rear seats don't fold flat. I used some dust sheets to support it just in case.

I suppose it may boil down to packaging.
Some manufacturers may be less economical which could easily add 3-4 inches on either side...
Just a thought.

despite it being a 1080 tv, you may be disturbed by the pixelation from being 60cm away from it in the drivers seat.

Thanks for all the replies guys! I have been out all day collecting my S3 from Brighton, literally just got back. And now I can order my new TV with confidence!

Right the TV has just been delivered (at 0650!!!!!!) and the box is huuuuuuge! It's 55 inches long for crying out loud. But I have been out with the tape measure and it'll fit 
Now I've just got to try and fit in my Tatonka 80L barrel bag, another holdall, My bike leathers, helmet, PS3 and my DVD surround sound boxes in the car also!
Cheers again guys

I hope you mean it fits VERTICALLY.
You don't want to be carting around a big sheet of glass horizontally if you can help it!

LCDs are ok laying flat. It may fit vertically though I may try that.
Or a roof rack! On an S3?? ....... nah!
Can't you sneak it onto an MoD transport vehicle? Might be able to put it through as "humanitarian aid"!
How come you didn't just buy it in Germany when you get back? Was it cheaper to buy in Blighty?

lol If I knew of any vehicles going from UK to Germany then I would but it's not that simple.
It was cheaper from the UK than from any German shop even without the tax! TVs are expensive in Germany.
