I have had cause to revisit the references for this article. Apart from The Illustrated Directory of Classic Cars by Graham Robson, whose preview is no longer available on Google Books, I have access to all the listed sources at present. Period Cars by Gianni Rogliatti is at the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Library, and I own copies of the others.
I added two new references today, one of which was The Classic Car, edited by Beverly Rae Kimes and published by the Classic Car Club of America. The four wheelbases offered for the J12 are given to the nearest quarter-inch on page 648 of that book. The sources used for this article give wheelbases to the nearest inch. I will attempt to represent this in a table:
Wheelbase description* | Kimes, 1990, p. 648 | Robson, 2001, pp. 248–249 | Scott, 1991, p. 52 | Rogliatti, 1973, p. 77 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Short | 134+1⁄2 in (3,416 mm) | 135 in (3,429 mm) | 135 in (3,429 mm) | 11 ft 3 in (3,429 mm) |
Light | 146 in (3,708 mm) | 146 in (3,708 mm) | 146 in (3,708 mm) | not stated |
Normal | 150 in (3,810 mm) | 150 in (3,810 mm) | not stated | not stated |
Long | 157+3⁄4 in (4,007 mm) | 158 in (4,013 mm) | 158 in (4,013 mm) | 13 ft 2 in (4,013 mm) |
Note: *The wheelbase descriptions are from Kimes, 1990, p. 648.
What should be done?
I await any input that will help resolve this.
