What interesting differences in wheel base! Perhaps a small difference could be attributable to inaccuracies while measuring, such as not having the steering wheel dead ahead. But these are big differences! The original moulds from which nearly all (except maybe CASCU's) derive were taken off the 206GT and then David had the wheel arches moved back a bit to match the Lotus Europa Chassis he was bonding the body to. That gives 3 different possibilities: Europa/206GT/246GT. The Europa at 7'7" (2311.4mm); the 206GT's 2280mm (89.76" - 7' 5 3/4") or the 246GT's 2340mm (92.12" - 7'8.12").
Cheers
