landypugh Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hello all First of all would like to say hello again I am looking at getting a series 3 and would like a bit of advice before I purchase. Well I currently have a classic mini have had them for years and I am looking to move to a series 3. I know from one end of the classic market to the other. I have seen one I like but have had to come away as unsure will fit in my garage if I am right its just below 77inchs tall a series 3 my garage is only 75inches tall well the door is. My question is will it be easy to take the roof off so can get it in the garage as I don't want to leave it out in open as will want to do some work on it. also when the roof is off do you recon this will go in. thank you speak soon carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi Carl, It is possible to remove the roof, but its not practical. What is practical is replace the rear wheels for a set of old rims or fit some low profile tyres to a set of 2 rims. I used to go for the rim option, gives some stripes on the concrete, but otherwise ok. the slope on the front bit of the roof was perfectly horizontal with the rims on the rr axle only. It also depends on the size tyres you have obviously. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landypugh Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hi Daan thanks for the reply I have took your advice and got a spare set of rims so when I get the series 3 to my home I will try that if doesn't work will have to take roof off, or its a excuse to by new garage doors cheers carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
