Width at the tires - ( Getting on a trailer)

Postby quickro » Mon 05.06.2023, 08:09

I'm looking to get into M100 owners ship at the moment but its more than likely that i will trailer the car home from where ever.

Can anyone give me an actual measurement from the outer edge of the front & rear tyres to ensure it will go on my trailer ( Its an old custom built one that's is not the widest).

When I collected my latest Elan, I borrowed a trailer which had a bed length of 10' (but the wheel chocks cut the useable length down to 9'5", and the jockey wheel meant that I couldn't drive as far as the chocks anyway!) and a width of 70".

The car went on, and it looked like it was made to measure - I wouldn't have wanted to try with a smaller bed.

Test fit with my car before leaving home.....
