I remember viewing a 1930's house where the garage door was visibly
narrower than the estate agent's Audi TT. Had probably been built for
something about the size of an original mini, like an Austin 7.

Opposite problem here. The garage is behind the house, and the doors
(pair, side hinged) have a reasonable width to them. However, there are
gates across the drive, level with the front of the house, which have a
gap of 6ft. How many modern cars would fit through that gap ?

My Mazda 6 won't - only by 0.3 inches
