AMV8 width with folded mirrors

[Ian67]

Does anyone know the width of the Vantage with powerfold mirrors folded in? I've googled but not found anything beyond the width with and without mirrors (2025mm and 1865mm).

This was important information for many of us, I'm sure! The car is wide and with a tight garage , the issue of fit was worrying. I found this somewhere on the Aston Martin site a while back, but can't find again for a direct link.

These are the numbers my notes reflect - - -
79.6" Wide (w/mirrors open)
73.5" Wide (mirrors folded)
173" Total length of Car

Many thanks for that. That means that the car is the same width with the mirrors folded as it is without mirrors, so I guess that they fold in tighter than the (beautifully wide) rear wheel arches.

I've got a Vantage on order for March 1st but the garage door conversion (retracting to sectional) that gives an extra 11" of width probably isn't going to happen until some time after. This means that I'll only have 6" spare until the conversion. I was sort of hoping that it would be less so that I wouldn't be tempted to try it...

Had the same with mine, works well because if you miss the mirrors then your safe

No worries. Looks like we have carbon copy issues. Currently, I'll have 6.5" on each side to get in and out. I would also like to reno my garage in the spring to add an extra 3.5" on each side. Doesn't sound like much, but will give me peace of mind pulling in and out.

From the looks of it, I think Aston Martin is going to being shipping tonnes of V8's in March (I get mine also)

Best of luck with your car.
