Would a chummy or early box saloon fit in my garage sideways?, the garage is 103 inches wide ( 8ft 7 inches).

6'3" plus 2 off at half 19" (half a wheel) plus 2 off at 3.5" (tyres) = 101" plus however much the mudguards stick out.

Mudguards are removable, though.

You will need at least 9' 8" of space for a Chummy - depending on what rear lights you have fitted.

So you can't have two, but you can have one lengthways and still have additional space for a jacuzzi or an engine crane.
Much easier to get it out then too, through at least one of the ends.

...if you park two nose-to-nose you can overlap the front wheels and they take up less space ...
