My car is wide bodied (or so I was told on purchase) and measures approximately 1630mm from outer edge to outer edge of the rear arches. But my rear lights are not cut in, so look like those on the green car above, not the yellow one. The other clue is that I fit in (just), and as an ex-England prop, I think it unlikely I manage to in a slim bodied car!!! My chassis number is 93ESIW3184 Do you have detachable arches? Or is it an SDV? There are a couple of exceptions to the rules but in general, cut in lights or detached arches = wide body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My chassis number is 93ESIW3184 If it’s the car in your profile picture then that’s a wide as they never made a ducted nose or v8 bonnet for the narrow body. It looks like you may have the extra wide rear arches fitted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Yep - that’s my one in my profile pic. The nose cone and bonnet are original, so that seems to confirm that’s it’s a wide one. Which is good for me to know. I don’t know whether the rear arches are wider than normal as I have nothing to compare them to, but they are pretty wide.

The recess for the rear lights only appears on the wide bodies with fixed rear arches. the other giveaway is the contoured dashboard. see the FAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
