Wheel centre to centre measurement.

[SteveOS3]

Hello all.

I am arranging to get the car tracking sorted after replacing all the front ball joints and dampers and out of curiosity measured the distance wheel-centre to wheel-centre.

The n/s was 2287 mm and the o/s 2290.

I'm guessing the 3 mm isn't too much to worry about on a car of this age with a hand-built chassis but curious to know if anyone else has measured the distance and what it was.

The front of that S looks a little like a Datsun 240Z. Whoever drew that clearly hadn't actually seen an S.

Whoever made the molds clearly hadn't seen the specification.

Sheets like that were initially done for the motorshow, the tvr year revolved around the show and they were always eager to get something new on the stand each year and it had to be specified and if they didn't get the orders it didn't go ahead. Time was short for example the hoods may have only been pulled the day before it had to leave for the show The first few show cars became press cars before the model was really finalized. So that drawing would have probably been done off the master in the middle of the night when when it was finally approved before the mould was laid on top of it. Hence no hood.
