F Type in a single garage

[timmymark]

Does anyone fit an F-Type in a single garage?

I know it will be tight.

Depends on your single garage, its not a standard size.

[timmymark]

2400 x 5000

I've added carpet on the walls.

And your garage is only 25mm longer than an F-Type. That’s a bit tight for my liking.

Google says the car is about 2m wide with mirrors, giving 40cm clearance and so not much to open the doors.

I'd say it could fit technically, but I wouldn't do it. Getting out would be interesting

[timmymark]

I'm quite a flexible person and used to getting out of an Exige with the door hardly open...

With the mirrors folded and positioned to one side should give me 300mm clearance (approx).

Just interested to hear if others do it.

[Rozzers]

My garage is 2.6M wide, youve no chance, you wont get to open the doors.

As a guide

Alfa 156/147/500X - yes

Alfa 159/Evoque/V90/XC60/E class - no

F type will have long doors making it worse, we only keep a 500 in there now.

I currently have an TTRS and have no trouble getting in or out. Loads of room TBH.

TTRS With mirrors open it's 1890...

F type mirror closed 1923

The door length is important though.

Ideal, if somewhat costly, solution.... (found from this thread - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... )

Indeed, Flemish to be even more precise.

I've been putting mine in a single garage for two years. No scratches yet. I have about 5cm clearance on each wing mirror as I go through the door (2.2M) but widens to 2.5M once in. Door is offset to the right as you look at from the front so I can reverse in and then have maybe 30cm gap to get out the door (carpet on wall obviously). People are astounded when they see me do it but its actually fairly easy.

What are F-types like for reversing into tight spaces? - I'm another one contemplating keeping on in a small-ish garage.

Obviously not being able to test drive one for the foreseeable, but I've had a measure up and I'm just in the process of window shopping.
