Never mind the quality....

...tell me about the width.
Looking at whether I can squeeze and Aston into my garage. It's a large double garage, so length and width inside are okay, but it has two doors (as opposed to one large door) and there's only 81" clearance through the doorways.
Would any V8V/DB9 owners be kind enough to shed some light?

DB9, Width = 1875 mm (74”)
V8V, Width: 1865mm (73.5 in) (excluding mirrors)
All of which is totally useless since, a.) they don't say whether the DB9 figure excludes mirros - although it seems likely and b.) it seems to assume you'll either remove the mirror or otherwise just back the fker straight into your garage, irrespective of whether you're going to tear the mirror off.V8V, Width: 1865mm (73.5 in) (excluding mirrors)

My garage is the same width as yours (I think!). All I do is drive up the the garage, (close to the left side) stop, press the buttons to fold the mirrors, drive in, unfold the mirrors.
The last bit is very important as the rear arches are almost as wide as the mirrors, so you have to look in the mirror to make sure you are clear at the rear.

Thanks for info.The last bit is very important as the rear arches are almost as wide as the mirrors, so you have to look in the mirror to make sure you are clear at the rear.
Sounds like a DB9 would be a bit more of a squeeze then.
