Would any of you roadie types have any idea what would be the fattest tyre I could fit in that frame? 700 X 40? Is that like a 1.5"?

Have a quick measure between the chainstays. Quite likely you won’t get more than a 32 pinched in there once you take account of the brake bridge and fork crown clearance

If it was the one near stoke this would already be in the back of my car.

Reckon you squish a 32 in with new brakes.

This may be too much hassle, but with a 650b wheel you could get a 38mm tyre in there possibly.
