Will a landrover fit????

wesley_the_mad_biker · Oct 4, 2008

I'm looking to purchase a series landrover however I need to be sure it will fit through my garage door. The garage door is 7ft wide by 6ft 8inches tall, will a standard series landrover on 750x16 with a hardtop fit???

Is it an up and over door? if it is and you haven't measured it with the door open I suggest you do.

If it is a open outward type door the answer is yes. Just. As long as it aint modified.

Which model Land Rover? My 88 on 7 50's would fit 6'6" multistories, but I would recommend measuring both garage and vehicle very carefully, it could be the difference between and new springs.
Don't forget to take into account whether getting into your garage is level.

Thks for the advise chaps, the dims I gave were for my up and over garage door with the door open so all looks okay.

I note the comment on whether the ground leading to the garage door is level as I can see how this could cause problems

yep, this is a fact, i can drive my series under my carport easily, but if i reverse in the rear corner catches on the roof beams. this is because there is a ramp from the roadway upto my driveway

I'm okay on width and height, best check how much of the garage is going to be taken up by the landy (i.e the length), can anyone let me know how long is a SWB series 2 or 3 is please.

wheelbase is 88 inches, not sure about end to end though!

wesley_the_mad_biker · Oct 4, 2008

Yeah, its the end to end I'm after.

TheVengefulElephant · Oct 4, 2008

I would of thought it will fit. Someone will come up with the length soon though hah. Is it a particularly small garage then?

Davec · Oct 4, 2008

I must have the length somewhere, but they are shorter tham most cars, so shouldn't be a problem.

wesley_the_mad_biker · Oct 4, 2008

Its actually quite long and I'm sure it would fit if there wasn't a load of other stuff kept in there. Just need to know if I need to get rid of the second freezer, beer store, 4 mountain bikes, a multitude of buggies and childrens toys!

Davec · Oct 4, 2008

11'11"

wesley_the_mad_biker · Oct 4, 2008

Thks for that, great news, the mtbs, beer store can stay, buggies, toy and freezer got to go though!

It won't providing it's not too steep.

Davec · Oct 10, 2008

That depends on tight the fit is.
If there is only 1 mm clearance it will not need much of a slope to foul.
Basic geometry!
