Hi JD
Even if I cleared out the garage, the car would fit but I wouldn't be able to get out of it. And because of the ramp up into the garage I would struggle pushing the car in  :(
the cover I get will be breathable and also fleece lined.
If you click the last link I posted and then scroll right down to the bottom you will see a nice close fitting cover that sounds good

Would that be such a bad thing not being able to get out ,you could get waitress service  and I'm sure there's room in there for a duvet lol, or I can fit a sun roof  :)
That cover looks mint, maybe just ask if it is a good all weather staying outside cover , jd

Hi, I have an expensive breathable cover for mine. But I will never use it again outdoors. The car will sweat. Winters are too wet to get away with it. Mine resulted in a full respray. A few years ago now but the horror when taking the cover off to find the car covered in micro blisters. I now have a garage. At the time I did not and when I had the car repainted I sourced secure storage, wasn't too expensive.

Sunroof lol , only kidding on a serious note tho the last thing you want to do is damage the new paint work  mickey

Is there not enough room to just squeeze out the door if you put a bit of carpet on the wall to stop the car door hitting it , or is the garage defo out of the running, jd

I will have another measure up, but there are pillars inside the garage that are right where the car doors open
Might invest in a nice big shed for all my stuff ( crap ) if the car will fit in the garage ????

Had the privilege of seeing Mickeys build in JD's paint shop over the week-end .....it looks stunning even though the paint job isn't finished - awesome job JD !! 

Saw Tony's too, coming on nicely!
