In practice
Where it goes
Seen from the back, with its vertical tail lamps, this retro mini goes in a section looking into a mews garage from the lane, in a parking garage section cut along the aisle or in a street section of nose-in parking outside stores. It is the companion to the front view of the same car.
Clearances to leave
Behind the vertical tail lamps, 6 ft 5 in (196 cm) of body leaves 14½ in (37 cm) on either side of a 9 ft (270 cm) stall. The tailgate is the real issue: lifted, it reaches roughly 6 ft 3 in (190 cm), so keep services above a 7 ft (213 cm) soffit and an aisle of 24 ft (730 cm) behind for loading.
Pairs with
Match it against the Retro mini hatchback with round headlamps to show both ends in a garage section, with Child in shorts pointing up and outward at the tail lamps. A low curb and painted stall line under the wheels anchor it.
