Hi all, I've been a regular(ish) poster in the Cerbera forum for a few years, however my Dad is now pondering changing his MG Midget for a more classic TVR; either a 3000S, or 1 of the S series cars. I've looked online and whilst it's easy to find dimensions I've not found anywhere that categorically states whether stated widths are with or without wing mirrors. While they'll fit in the garage regardless, the amount of space left has an impact on my Dad's purchasing decision.

Could one obliging owner either let me know if the stated width that I can find (64" for a 3000M which I assume is the same for a 3000S) is correct and whether that includes wing mirrors, or could measure their car and report back with widths with and without wing mirrors?

Thanks!

My 1978 3000S is 163 cms wide.
My 1976 3000M is 164 cms wide.
This widest part is the top of the rear wheel arches.
For mirrors it depends where positioned on doors and what type of mirrors.
Hope that helps
Alan
