Any ideas on whether it would go in/how it would go in?

They weigh a fucking lot. Take the box off and lift it in carefully with a load of mates. Be prepared to get trapped hands etc etc. In the end we actually didn't put the lump in my car. We put it on a bread trolley from work and wheeled it down the road

Shit, good luck with that then! It's not quite as hard to get back out without a crane, but getting it in could be a bit of a bitch
