how wide is a DB9 (Inc mirrors)

[nhxfh]

hi everyone,

I am thinking of getting a DB9 and I want to know if it will fit in my rather narrow garage.

the AM site says the width is 74"

but does this include the door mirrors ?

another site states 73" (exc mirrors)

does anyone know, or could someone please measure their car to see, what the width is.

The door way is 84" (heres hoping)

I presume there is ample room once inside to open the (large) doors?

I remember pacing around a DB7 GT trying to work out if it would fit in the garage. The 7 did; but I had to carpet the garage walls and develop a PAPI precision approach system to allow me to park safely.

I have double doors fitted on the right hand side,
so I open them first then drive in to get out of my current car (porsche 911) then close the double doors.

sorted.

The mirrors do fold, but I need them to get into my garage in reverse. The garage door is less than a foot wider in total than the DB9 including mirrors. The interior is much wider.

I have a triple garage but the two outer ones each have narrow doors. I have about an inch on either side of the mirrors. But that's no problem. I have no problem as I've lots of experience of guiding large objects in to small slots....

I usually reverse in using the mirrors to guide. If I get it a fraction wrong, you can fold the mirrors for the moment that you pass the threshold.

yep ...I do the same......approach the garage in reverse and then fold the mirrors when im a foot or so from the opening......works a treat

He may have lots of experience...but I see he has to go in backwards !!

I don't have to go in backwards; I just enjoy that more.
