I have a tiny garage and am hoping that a classic mini will fit in. All the documentation I can find says that the width is 1397 mm, but this doesn't seem to change from 1984 when the wheel arches were added. Does anyone know what the width is including the wheel arches?

 

Thanks

Even the smallest garage has got to be over 5ft wide surely?

The 'official' dimensions, according to the 1993 brochure, are:

1.41m without mirrors

1.56m with mirrors.

 

These will include the standard arches used from c. 1984 onwards.
