Well, I've failed to find anything wide enough. However, I've done a bit of lateral thinking (well, longitudinal actually!). I could use one for the left hand pair of jacking points and one for the right hand pair. The distance between them front to back is much shorter than the side to side distance.

Can anyone see any issues with using them like that?

I've been on the phone to C J Autos. Helpful chap, and they'll make up a set with some extra long bars to allow me to use them with the S2000. Also suggested the larger Nylon wheels, which have brakes and will be easier to roll with a full weight car on them. Extra £30ish for the longer bars, excellent. Happy Christmas to me!

Just out of interest how much are they costing you for the pair? I have been tempted with wheel dollies but this may make more sense.

More than wheel dollies! They're basically £150 each, plus the extra long bars (£30) and delivery (£30ish). So, £350ish the pair in total.

Edit: That was excl VAT! Eeek. Bit more expensive than expected, but will make life loads easier in the garage.
