Re: Door length

Wheel base SWB/ LWB - 2337mm/ 2489mm

Edit: SWB door length 695mm measuring from top corner at door shut horizontally. I understand the LWB is 6" longer.

Re: Door length

The difference is in the door length LWB 2489mm minus SWB 2337mm equals 152mm which is 6 inches in old money.

Re: Door length

Does anyone know if all the SWB roadsters were made with wood doors covered in alloy as have seen others made just from alloy with an internal door lock !!

Re: Door length

Early models were wood with an alloy skin, then developed to an all alloy fabricated door, and yes the difference in door length between swb and lwb is 6 inches. There were also one piece front wings on MK1 cars then seperate inner and outer in glass fibre then alloy inners . and there is more,----------
