My house was built in the early 80s and I count myself lucky it's actually long enough to get the S8 in with a foot to spare! So many round here built later are simply too narrow to get even a modest modern car in - friends round the corner can't even get an Astra through theirs!
It's easy enough to get the car in with practice, although it involves a couple of checks and realigning to make sure it's straight and clearing the nearside wall. Mirrors have to be folded as the nearside needs to be as tight as possible to the wall or I've no chance getting out the drivers seat!
If I had a double with space in the centre I'd have no issues at all - just lean out the drivers window and make sure the offside is as close as can be and you know the nearside will have plenty of space 
Dezzy - could the 'coins' be removed/replaced on a solid brick built wall? We've got an end garage in block and the outside wall is of proper brick construction whereas the interior walls are all light block apart from the pillars - I did wonder if a whole brick built wall would be that bit stronger and I could potentially knock a few out the way so I could open the car door!
