OO Scale Minibus Dimensions?

You can find dimensions online for any full scale van, and then divide it by 76 to get a OO scale length. Even allowing for model dimensions to be off slightly, that would certainly get you within a mm or two of the actual length of a decent, modern model.

For example, here's a screenshot of a pdf brochure that took less than 2 mins to find and download:

7.4m divided by 76 = 97.4mm, so that would (in theory) be the length of a OO gauge model of it. In practice it might be slightly different, but I'd expect it to be 95-100mm long.

This might sound like a strange request but does anyone have a OO scale modern style minbus they could measure for me please? Something like the EFE Mercedes minibus or similar shape.

Many thanks in advance.

Would a Corgi beaver 2 minibus be close enough? I have one here I can measure if that helps.
