Also the camera angle may exaggerate the height of the van. One of my Aunts, not a petite woman by any standards, and also about 5ft 9 tall, had a Standard 8 and seemed to have no trouble getting in and out of it. The car only ever seemed to travel from her home to two destinations, church and the hairdresser!
