Does anyone know where I can find some more details of the dimensions of the V8 Vantage? Google hasn’t found it.

I’m trying to understand the size of the car from the door opening forward, the size of the door, and the length from the rear of the door to the rear of the car.

I viewed a Vantage Roadster today and whilst I’m sure the car fits in my garage, I’m concerned about where the doors will land and therefore whether I can get out of it! Modern garages are rubbish!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the replies it’s greatly appreciated.

The car I saw is a few miles away and if I’m honest I’m not sure it is “the one”. Despite being an AM approved, I picked up a few things that made me a little wary of purchasing it.

The way my garage is constructed there are pillars on either side of it half way down and I’ve realised that whilst the car will fit, opening the doors could be a challenge if they fall in the wrong place!

Thanks for that. Interestingly the car in the garage at the moment is a Mk1 TT so might work.

Pillars protrude by a mere 10-15 each side but my need for some storage cupboards in the garage doesn’t help. If I can get it in as is, great. If I can’t, I’ll have to hire a skip....

The car looked good, but even at cursory glance, I spotted the paint bubbles around the door handles and tyres at 2.5mm.

Thank you for all the advice. What a great forum this is!

I think the best way is to get a car in the garage and check it. I have some flexibility and might have to reduce the amount of storage I’m keeping in the garage if the car is to fit.

If anyone is near Sheffield and wants to earn a bottle of wine for a slate half hour or so, I’d be grateful!
