Default Width of a 968

Can anyone tell me if the 'official' width (1735mm, I think) includes the mirrors?

If not, does anyone know the inclusive figure?

TIA

It's listed as 1735mm(68.31in) in the workshop manual -- though you probably want to allow for few more inches in the garage.... Do you want the measurement with the doors opened too? I can run out and do that.

Thanks, but it's the total width, including the mirrors that I need. I think it will be a tight fit in my garage...

That is at right angles to the screen, I presume, Mike? Seems a lot wider than I expected...
