      Re: wheelbase

      If it's 8' wheelbase it must be a LWB.
      SWB is 7' 6"

      This is just the sort of info that should be published as a guide for all the different car models on the website.

      Can't be too difficult to collate relevant info like overall dimensions, track, wheelbase, dry weights etc.
      Perhaps someone has already done the work, just not published it.

              Hi

              Thanks for the wheelbase info.

              What are the approx track and weights for Roadster T&M models, say with Triumph 6 cylinder, 1800cc B Series, 1300cc A Series, Ford Pinto and Fiat?

              A data box on the website for 'typical' Roasters would be very useful (I know there is no such thing).

              I am trying to work out what size and rated trailer I'd need to move one. I've got a single axle 1000kg capacity trailer, but it only has a 10feet loadbed (probably won't balance OK?)

              Cheers
              Mike

                  That's a really good idea!
