robin hood, westfield caterham type cars? are they a standard width?

need to see what needs to be 'relocated' from the garage to try and get one in. just to get over the 'nowhere to put it' argument.

thanks

My Locost has a standard Mk2 Escort rear axle so will be roughly the same width overall as the donor car. IRS cars like Westfields are a bit wider, but only a couple of inches.

They also have the advantages that you can see the corners really easily (so they actually feel much smaller and more manageable manoeuvring in and out of a standard garage) and you don't have to worry about climbing in and out through the 6" slit that is all the door on a conventional car allows before it hits the brickwork!
