Mine sits just inboard of the sills
The one on eBay which shows a minimum width of 1400mm could be a tad too wide. Max width really should be the width of the main side jacking points plus 150mm. This way the main jacking point will sit dead centre on the support pad.
TBH at £244, if it is a tad too wide taking it to a fabricator to cut it down and weld wouldn't cost much on top.

What if you have a single garage, is it narrow enough to drive over, then extend the sill supports?

You won't drive the VX over it. Mine is set at 120/130 ride height and needs to be about 1" higher to get the frame under. I use caravan levelling ramps to drive on to to get the extra height.
It stores on its end though against the wall so takes up minimal room

Be careful, the one in the link will be too wide, you need to go for the adjustable width version or get FLD to cut and weld the non adjustable one to the correct width. This is what Darcini did
EFA!

Any chance of a close up photo of how the car sits on the ramp and maybe a shot looking from under the car?

Doesn't really show what you are after. Will take more pics next time I use it which is likely to be in 2 weeks time after the French Frolic trip
