Can anyone tell me the length and width of the wheel base i.e. outer edge of tyres width and length on a Morris 1100?, just wheel base not entire body. Need to check to see if it will fit on my trailer or if i need to hire one. Thanks

The width across the tyres is 4'9½" or 1.46m. But you need to allow a touch more to clear the wheel centres as they stick out a little from the tyre.

The wheelbase is 7'9½" or 2.375m. You need to allow more space for the tyre to sit on.

You are not picking up a Morris 1100 from Bargo are you? :lol:
