Q15. What engine configuration did the Lancia Fulvia Coupé have?
Q. What was the wheelbase of the Messerschmitt (that three-wheeled, bubble car-like thing)? |

Graham,
"Boxer" means "flat". The term "boxing" describes the horizontal movement of the pistons as in throwing a punch. |

Geezers and Peter,
Ummm... 'flat' or 'boxer' ain't the answer I've got. Anyone care to give me proof before I give my answer? Doesn't anyone know the wheelbase? |

Q16. This is just a wild guess.
I think the length of the original Messerschmitt was 305 cm. So, I think the wheelbase must have been something like 230 cm. Gerard. |

Eeeee, lad. Us Brits are a bit backward, see? We're still working in inches! Well... I am most of the time.
What is 230cm in inches anyone? |

I'm not sure Graham, but I think 230 cm is about 90 to 91 inches.

It was a "tight" V4. Tight because the V angle was a mere 12 degrees. This was the case for the all the Fulvia engines, from the 1.0 litre through to the fuel injected 1.6 version. (way hay - the first question I can answer  )

Andrew has got the question right - congrats
The wheelbase of the Messer was 80 inches - I checked in a knackered copy of a mag called Classic Cars from 1987. |
