Cerbera external dimensions - Will it fit in my garage ?

[mike220]

Haha, as above really. Before I spene my hard earned in the very near future - I guess I should check the basics. Anyone got the answer to hand ?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

A lot of people keep Cerbs in single garages. The trick is to line the drivers side wall with old carpet & or sponge so that when you hit the door on the wall as you get in/out (it WILL happen), you do no damage !

Happy hunting

It is the length on the doors that is the killer. So if you are concerned then get someone from here to try theirs in your space.

Post where you are and ask nicely for someone to come round and do a 'dry run'.

Worked for me.

I had the same concerns as you and it fits easy. Thought it was gonna be a tight squeeze. I've carpeted the wall too.

Hasn't everyone carpeted their walls?

Even my 96 car has visors, when did they stop fitting them . I'd be more concerned about the crack in the windscreen (or is it a trick of the light)

Thanks guys, that's good info. Will be checking tomorrow, and if it looks suspect may post to see if there's anyone near me to try it out.

Fingers crossed, as I know of someone selling a 4.5 which I've been told is a good 'un - if slightly out of my price range to be honest ;-)

Cheers,

Mike

I knew I should have put a footer remark to that photo . That was a photo back from 18 months or so ago when someone decided to throw a bottle at my car in a bit of drunken jealousy. Thing is - it was a christmas do at a posh golf club with CCTV and the club member was recognised and banned.

As for Visors - they aren't that good to be honest - mine are too stiff, the drivers one hangs down a bit and refuses to stay up. I guess someones tried gluing something to it lookin at the mess on it.
I was thinking of taking them off. With the little windscreen and sunglasses I don't think I've ever used them.

I had my car a year before I realised it had visors

A bit O/T: I had my 306 in TheFarmers garage to get the Chim out. The Pug was a tighter fit compared to the 4 litre!

Why are garages and parkings so damn tight? Lambo's have their scissordoors . . .

Yup, it's not getting the car in the garage that's the problem; it's getting out of the car once you've done so. You'll need carpet. I'd also recommend some by the passenger's side front wing so that you can get the car as far to the left as possible but won't scratch it if you go too far.

AH for that you need the dangly sock ball. Stop when it touches the windscreen
