Well, it's the same size as a Beetle mate. Same wheelbase anyway, and the overhangs are roughly similar.

A simplistic explanation might be that the CB (body) was designed in Australia when imperial measurements were the norm, prior to the metrication (or
metrification) of Australia which took place between 1970 and 1988.
Fine tuning the proper daily ratio of Maxwell House to Bacardi 151.........

I think Steve hit it on the head.
In reading the sketch I now see that the front track of the CB is 16mm wider than the rear track. Now that really surprises me as but I see early
Beetles had a wider front track as well.
The early 1500s had a front track of 51.6in and a rear track of 53 in more like what I had expected.
