Funny you should mention. I don't have exactly what you are asking for
(I'd like a set of specs too) but I was looking through the '81 owner's
manual and it has all kinds of info like length, width, and height
(unladen, nach). 

But it's also got weird stuff like overhang front & rear and the ramp
angle. This is the angle at which a sudden ramp would scrape the car
(for want of a simpler explanation). 

Mk1 Ground Clearance? 4.76"/134mm. 

The front view looks like the the tires are 120 mm or some thing, if
that. Must be snow tires. :)

BTW- There was a thread sometime back re increasing the rear track to
widen the rear stance. Turns out the stock front is 54.7"/1390mm vs rear
53.5"/1358mm.

I remember Pop's Citroen (FWD too) had a narrower rear track (kinda like
a fish).

Hmmm,
