Steve,
I sort of agree with Jan, a 54 5/8"L X 51"W X20"H inside dimension box
would hold the top; the roof is only 43" wide, If your tail gate goes down
then you could have about 30 inches of the top inside and the rest
(wing windows and rear window) setting on the tail gate.
Also consider inverting the top, the 48" wide point of the top starts
about 5" up from the bottom of the wing windows. So if your car has 48" W
at 15" from the bed and 51 inches wide at 20 inches from the bed plus a bed
length of at least 55" you have it should fit without a box.
Best way is to drive your Tiger, install the top and drive
back home.
