Can an R231 fit in a single garage

[DP401]

Hi all, I’m looking to get an R231 in the near future but I need to know if one will fit in my standard 1960’s single car garage and will I be able to get in and out of it once it’s in there. My current car (997 Porsche Carrera) fits fine but I know the R231 is longer and wider. If anyone can give me any help or advice on this it’ll be greatly appreciated.

Why, it’s an honest question

If it's an SL just fold the roof down and climb over the boot.

Slide along it just like Bo Duke used to do over the hood of the General Lee.

Was there/is there such a thing as a "standard size" for garages?

Yes, including my mountain bike.

R231 SL63 AMG in a 'standard' size garage. I have to fold in mirrors to get past the entrance and it's a squeeze getting out but do-able.

There is no such thing as a standard size single garage. You need to offer the width.

An R231 is only 2 inches wider than the 72 inch wide 997, but the SL will be more difficult because the R231's door is longer.

And are you a chiselled whippet ? Or more "traditionally built ?"

Many thanks for that, I don’t suppose you know how wide your garage is by any chance?

Ha! I’m somewhere between a chiselled whipper and and traditionally built I suppose
