Any 4C owners manage to keep their carin a normal single garage?
Trying to sort the measurements, and whilst the internal of my garage is slightly wider than normal, the door is standard.

Door opening - 2140mm
4C width with mirrors - 2090mm

In my book, that's classed as 'a bit tight'....

Do the mirrors fold in at all?

Cheers

Thanks
Doesn't sound very doable for me.

It's a real shame as I've been offered a good deal on one.
Have no intention of chopping the garage around just to fit a car I'll only keep for a couple of years...

It's a 4 hour round trip... smile (tegu?)

As it is, popped into my local dealer and they offered, knowing I won't be buying a car off them as I can't afford what they have, to bring one over to me tomorrow to try it.

Bloody good show I think!

Is that variava?
It is.

Looking at your profile pic (I recognise the location) is that your car in their car park?

I know the dealer from the photo - they had a red one for sale too.

There's a White LE in Variavas car park today with the other dealers name on the reg plate.

Can I ask why you bought one from up here as opposed to the one down south nearer to you?

PM if you like.

(unless I've got the wrong end of the stick...)

I'd been looking at the white LE from GVE London.
They offered me around £3k more than book for my car and reduced theirs down to £46k - it's been there a long time and is now classed as over stockage, so want it gone.

I think that's a good price now, especially for a 150 mile car.

I haven't taken it any further as I can't get one in my garage without a lot of titting about.
S I posted above, my local dealer bought one out to me and between me and the salesman we managed to get it in - just.

In reality, it won't work unless I change the garage door for an internal roller door - and that ain't going to happen for a car.
For reference, I can get our F80 M3 in the same garage quite comfortably...

As for prices, I reckon between £40 - £45k depending on what spec is now a sensible price to pay, and a few have now started to sell at this price.

The one at GVE really is a lovely car and the dealer also seems like a decent place.

I have to reverse in at an angle
Once I’m lined up with the door I just fold in the drivers mirror knowing the other side will go past the door frame.

Becomes second nature after a while.


Just realised I was the OP...

When I bought mine I was just going to leave it on the drive.
When I got it home I realised with a bit of jiggery pokery I could get it in.
