I cant say if that includes the mirrors, though of coarse they do fold, and you do have to get out of the car eventually when the novelty has worn off, so allow for the doors

I have just measured.
Over a foot clearance on width at the door, wider inside and loads of length, about the same length as my Stag.
I live west country by the sea!

Thats not bad,I think a lady mid 30s drives it, never been polished that much,but that is not a bad thing.

We will have to go round and pick out all of the faults, get them to add up to £15k, take it off the price and you get a bargain

Is your stag the original engined version, or was it the rover engine that was used.

Hope so! I obtained it in boxes in 1991 completely stripped, engine and all. Rebuilt it and enjoy it, but I'm getting a little long in the tooth to keep it up to scratch.
It was said that it was a 'look alike' for a M-B back in the 70s.
