Murcielago - will it fit??

[ianqv]

Hi All,

I just wondered if there are any local (Chelmsford Essex) Murcielago owners out there which could help?
It's looking increasingly more likely that I will be hopping out of my Countach and it to a Murcielago.
But I just want to make sure it will fit in my garage!!! I've had the measuring stick out, width looks like no problem - but just want to make sure, as it could be a bit embarrassing if my new purchase won't actually fit!

I guess the bottom line is here.... size is important after all!!!!

Mant thanks in advance

Regards

But what about the beautiful countach! With your measurments what kind of clearance is it giving you?

Hi

I'm fine on the width - but cutting things fine on the length.

Dion @ the Elms Collection has one in at the moment - he's based near South Woodham Ferrers. If you're interested in purchasing, he might be able to help

Definitly missing out! But ian will have to fight with me over that one

Morning All,

Thanks Dave - They are the same measurements I've been using (so fingers crossed they are right!!), I'm fine on Width and height, I'm just a bit twitchy on the length!!

As for skipping over Diablo - Me and Lynn are still in deep discussion over this!! We'd love to follow in Derek n Lisa'a foot steps and get a GT (but funds won't stretch that far) - So a really nice SV or Late open headlight model could still be thrown in to the melting pot!!!

Best Regards

Best of luck with the search Ian

Funny.. read this thread yesterday and realised a Murci would fit in the garage!

Lambo Wycombe have a nice 03 example for what seems like reasonable money.

Do it Rob, you wont regret it mate. If you are talking about the black 53 plate car that LHW have - its a nice one, I know it

Told you it wouldn't fit!
