Wheel Base

I have been offered a trailer but before I accept it I would like to confirm the front wheel base of a Lambda.
I am unable to get to my car that I am building until the end of the month. Would be a shame to miss this.

John,
I'm guessing that it's the 'track' that you're after, which is 1.260 metres between the wheel centrelines on a standard setup.
If you have Citroen wheel rims and 135/80 tyres, add about another 0.135m to obtain the measurement between the outside face of the tyres.
If fatter tyres or wire wheels are fitted, it might well be a bit more... ;)

Thanks for the information that will be a great help.
It looks as though the trailer should be ok.

If it's a single axle trailer if you drive a trike forwards on the nose weight on the hitch can be very high on mine I reverse on but it needs a longish trailer to fit it on. (None of this may apply to you though )
