Dimensions

Wondering how easy it will fit in my garage with all the other junk or whether I'll be needing a bigger shed.

Thanks
(I have already worked out that an S will fit).

If an S will fit then so will a Griffith.

[DustyC]

Is a Griff smaller?

[RichB]

Having had both in the same gagarge space I would say it's a inch or two shorter but perhaps an inch wider. Rich...

[DustyC]

Thanks, thats good enough info for me.
(and the way I would prefer it too )

If your garage has a pitched roof, put some chipboard flooring panels down and heave the junk onto them.

If the position of the car has to be exact, hand a ping-pong ball on a bit of string from the roof so it just touches the windscreen when the car's in the right place.

Oh, and don't forget to put some carpet on the walls so you don't damage the doors.

(Blimey, I think there's the makings of a TV prog here. 'Celebrity Garage Makeovers' anyone?)

An S might be the same size as a Griff, but the Griff is LOUDER, so tie everything down and move everything to the backs of the garage shelves before you try parking...

Dont be too sure the Griff is louder than all "S" cars

I had this problem when I was trying to buy the Griff, my garage is quite small & I wasnt sure it would fit.

Thankfully it does with room to spare, Im at work at the moment but will mail you later with the exact size of my garage.

A big surprise to lots of people is that a Griff is the same size as a 400SE and even more surprising they are the same size as an MX5. Most people think the wedge is bigger and the Mazda is smaller.

[jigs]

It's the Griffith's big personality that makes it seem bigger!

I'm writing up a proposal to Discovery Home & Lesuire right now!

All TVRs are fairly short so no problem there.
Of the 4 cars mentioned above: MX-5 3950mm, S 4013, Griff 3892 Wedge 4013. However there is a BIG difference in width: MX-5 1670, S 1728, Griff 1943 Wedge 1870. If you ever sit in an MX-5 you'll really notice it then.

I don't believe this I reckon it's got to be a case of one measured with wing mirrors and the other in. I've had both and going through my garage door frame there isn't that much diference. (195mm = nearly 9" no way) Rich...
