Underground parking space for sale for nearly £90,000 even though it’s too tiny for most cars

An underground parking space in the capital is for sale for nearly £90,000 even though it’s too tiny for most cars.

Buyers will have to fork out £40,000 to snap it up to start with.

Then another £46,750 if they plan on keeping it long term.

They are warned it is only suitable for “small” cars and ideally if they are “left hand drive.”

That is because it is just two metres wide.

There is a gap in the wall which would allow drivers of foreign cars to get out if they reversed in.

The parking spot is also just 1.8 metres tall at its lowest point due to pipes on the wall.

However, standard SUVs – like a Land Rover Discovery Sport or Jaguar F-Pace – are 2.08m wide.

Even saloons – like Audi A4 or VW Passat – would be to wide for it.

They are 1.89m so it would be impossible to get in and out of the 11cm gap.

The average parking space in the UK is 2.4m wide, according to the AA.

The underground parking spot is located in Knightsbridge, west London – a stone’s throw from Harrods.
