Hi Barners,
Before I start stipping out the running gear and suspension on my French-built Ford Model 60 I was wondering if the chassis length and wheelbase was exactly the same as with the larger-engined 85 hp cars?

I think the model 60 is a rare beast and as you have one, why don't you measure the wheelbase and then it might be easier to see if the measurements from the one you have match anything else.

Did you see the v8-22 woodie on UK ebay recently??

Mart.

Great idea...why didn't I think of that, Doh!

I'll measure the wheelbase of the 60 (which is a woodie) and post details tomorrow for comparison...and yes I did see the 22hp woodie on eBay. I know that car well and have photographed it many times.
