360 fits into a single. DB9 does also.

Aston V8 Vantage does indeed fit inside a small single garage.

Might need the mirrors in though to get past the garage door frame

Might be too long - won't fit in my garage

Depends how big the garage is I could get the 355 in my single garage and open the door enough to get in and out

Err, depends how big the garage is! If an R8 fits width wise then an F430 should too

Gallardo ...daily driver..... lots of short trips?
Check out clutch life, and cost of replacement

Just look at the size (length) of the doors of any candidate, long legs, big feet, means it's difficult to get out once in the garage. A Corvette (if considered a supercar?) would be difficult in a smallish garage.

I'd vote for the Vantage too. My neighbour has one and they are surprisingly compact cars and a far more interesting choice than a 911

Won't be much that will, if it's a 'standard' garage size.

Crikey, my boring old Saab 9-5 won't fit in mine, it's too long, and it's not a big car by modern standards being essentially a 12 year design, and a mate with a Mazza 4200 tried and failed as well.

AM V8 must be one of the few likely candidates I would think.

McLaren F1.

My (C5) Corvette fits into a garage that is 8'6" wide, with (I think)a 6'6" wide door. The garage 18' long, but has a 2'6" bench at the end. I'm not the tallest in world, but I can get in and out with relative ease.

C6's are smaller (shorter and marginally narrower), so IMO they should fly into any normal garage

Naturally I understand the question mark over the Vette's "supercar" credentials, but it goes like the clappers (even for an auto) and is bullet proof in terms of reliability, albeit with (what some say is) argicultural engineering.

Obviously the Vette's suitability to meet the criteria all depends on the LHD argument....

I have a Corvette so I didn't really want to push it as a supercar, own trumpet and all that. Definately adequete. I didn't realise the 6 is narrower (obviously shorter), I bet you go thro those doors slowley 6'6" must be tight.

i think the corvette comrs under the heading supersports car, kind of half a catagory away. all imo of course. lovely cars though!

morgan aero 8 pretty narrow

[whoami]

how much does he want to spend?

[henrycrun]

Shirley has to be a ragtop, so he can climb out ?

Since when has a Vantage been a Supercar.
