Three wheels to Four

[djmagee]

As I said, I have had the 223 for 20 years and love it and I take your point about the 224 rear wheels. I removed the near side front wheel and mudguard and placed them on the o/s rear to get an impression of how it looks aesthetically. In all period 2 seater sports cars the drivers elbow is virtually toutching the rear mudguard. This is in my humble opinion where the 224 doesn't work for me with its rear trailing arms sticking out like herons legs .... I have to say, with the wheels in the elbow area it looked very nice. Just my opinion. David

Hi Dave...expect you already know that Gary moved his rear axle forward and shortened the rear arms so that the wheels sat inside the body outline.
All in all not an easy job but it does make the car look "right" but think it also makes the ride a bit hard ... Gary has got used to it..but French roads are great !
