S series inc V8S in single garage ?

[craggers]

As I'm buying a house with single garage (17’ ft x 8’1 ft). Will those S series easily fit in it ?

It will fit but you will struggle to get out of the car with that width as the doors are quite thick - you will find it is easiest to remove the drivers side roof panel to aid you in your escape. Also you won't have much room for anything else in there.

Cheers,
Matt.

My garage is 14ft 6in x 7ft 5in.
It was a bit of a tight squeeze with the roof on (which was very rare).
S series is 13ft x 5ft 6in.



Top Tip: screw some wooden batons to the garage wall, just above car waist height, and attach old carpet to the batons. So if you get too close, the car just brushes the carpet (with air gap behind) rather than scraping the wall.

Good tip about carpet !

Is this true that V8S is bit wider than S series ?
