I am considering buying a XK8/XKR (1996-2006) and want to confirm the width. I've seen it listed as 1892mm but does this include the door mirrors?

What is the minimum garage width that is practical?

Bear in mind that they have large doors, and exit from the car is much easier with the door fully open.

How far you need to open the door to get out will depend on your size and agility! I would say that I need around 3 feet to get in and out comfortably, without the door hitting the garage wall, but then I am a senior citizen!

Thanks for the advice. 

I think I am quite agile but need to consider your point. I don't think I would have anything near 3 foot so it may not be feasible.
