anthonym Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 with thanks to James aerobod. :-) Don't count too much on the width. My trailer is 171cm internally and a CSR race car needs tyre grease to get on. It's a press fit! and rj https://www.redbubble.com/people/blackartgraphx/works/22641599-caterham-seven-blueprintfrom jv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Haven't you got a green one downstairs so you can measure it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Agree with SM25T, you must have one of those extendable measures, I've heard they are quite cheap to buy, and intuitive to use..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Googled it ... ++ Either I'm being very dull or Caterham have done a very good job of hiding the dimensions of their cars on their website! A quick google gives these figures from Car Pages but I have no idea if they are correct! Length: 3380 mm - 11'1" Width: 1575 mm - 5'2" - exc. mirrors Height: 1115 mm - 3'8" Wheel Base: 2225 mm - 7'4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revilla Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 And how come a RoadSport is a full 280mm longer than a Superlight? Is that just the presence of a spare wheel by default on the RoadSport? Still sounds a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7 wonders of the world Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 wonder if it would be worth fitting a pair of suitable spacesaver tyres to one side of the car to ease trailer loadings...? suitable brackets could be made to mount to other wheels on the trailer if car space was tight.

rj Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Again it depends...Mine is wider than the drawing due to negative camber on the rears - and it just has the 1.5 ears albeit on 8.5" MB wheels. It measures arond 162 cm at the widest point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
