Watch out - there's a trojan called 'JS Seeker' on the page before that, if you see what I mean. Another one shot dead at the front gates....thankyou Norton

Sorry, I'd just pulled it off Google

I measured mine at the weekend to see if I can fit it in the new garage, garage door was 7ft wide I had about 2 inches either side to get through so about 2200mm, 2.2M from wing mirror to wing mirror.

I asked this between buying mine and picking it up. (Great timing as I'd already paid the deposit!)

My garage door is about 2200-2300 wide so the 1950 was a concern.

I brought the car home popped down the drive any into the garage and then remembered about the supposed lack of space (!!)

Width wise it looks lost in there but its pretty long though by comparisson to my previous car.

I now use some pipe lagging over the door frame at mirro rheight to avoid any potential mishaps and pull the car 3/4 of the way in and then jump out and push it the last bit to avoid risking hitting my door on the garage side door frame.

I should fit in most garages as mine is not a big garage.

Do the mirrors fold in on the Griff?

Yes just the once as after that the internal mechanism is broken and they develop droop.

Add 18 inches to the width if you want to open the door AND get out!

That site with the statistics says the griff 500 is
wider than 1990 griff, cerbera, tamora & Tuscan.

What a load of old rot !!

Either that or keep the roof off whilst its in the garage.

I am 6'6" and I could get in/out with the roof off with the door only open about 12" or less.

Keep the rear screen up so as not to damage it but I always left my roof panel in the garage (along with the irritating spare wheel that just wouldn't stay still).
