Width, wheel outside to outside?

[madbilly]

Hi all,
Please can someone tell me the width of the m100 outside wheel edge to outside wheel edge? I need this to work out if it will fit on a trailer. Car is currently at garage so i can't measure it.
Thanks

Billy - it looks like 1485 mm wheel to wheel front and back and overall width of 1735 mm according to the data below.

I can if course go and measure mine but I suspect the official data will be more accurate than my tape measure

1989 Lotus Elan II (M100) 1.6 i 16V Turbo (167 Hp) | Technical specs, data, fuel consumption, Dimensions

Hope this helps ?

Is it still in France?!

Hi HJ2, no it's not in France but just out of reach in the UK! We could tow it but we would have to cross very busy dual carriageway and I don't really like the idea of that.

Hi Rambo,

The track is hub centre to hub centre I think, not outside edge to outside edge. I know the M100 has quite a weird offset and the hubs aren't really near the middle of the wheels otherwise I would just add one tyre width onto the track measurement - this would be 1690mm I think.

Actually this is all a bit mute, I should have just checked the track vs the trailer width to start with - the trailer is only 1450mm between the mudguards so there definitely isn't room for an Elan on there! I should have known, this is a trailer normally used for Austin 7s and Morris Minors...

Cheers all

Where is it?

Rent a trailer they're usually flatbed or huge.
