560SEC Zender Widebody, Ver. 1
Hello fellas:

I'm posting here from the States hoping someone can help me with my recently acquired Zender "widebody". I understand Zender was very popular in the UK in the 80's so my hope is someone here has first hand knowledge of these kits.

Any knowledge, memories, or speculation is very much appreciated!

Colorado. Luke Colorado.

Hello and welcome to you. I feel someone on here will be able to help you..

Hi & welcome. Can't help liking these. Not overly subtle is it? Prefer the BBS wheels if that helps.
Cheers!
 
This leads to one of my questions.... while it *looks* like a widebody it really isn't. Those rear wheels are 9.5" with 255s and they are a tight fit on both sides of the hub. I couldn't have squeezed any more tire or wheel in the wells.

It would appear from pictures that there were either two types of fenders from Zender or they could be installed two different ways. If you look at the pictures below and notice the fuel filler area you might see what I mean.

There's also the more obvious difference of the "strakes" on the side skirts and front lip. I have several Zender catalogs from the 80s and while both cars are show, only one kit (part number) is ever offered.
