Widest cockpit
Does anybody know which, of all kits available, has the widest (too many pies) and longest cockpit for a 6ft'ter.

The Luego Viento link has a huge cockpit but I don't think you can buy a new kit now.
If you are looking for a a ready built one you might be able to find one.

I'm 6'4" and am fairly wide but can easily get in my McSorely +442 (4" Longer/4"Wider/2"Higher than a book
chassis)

Dax Rush is huge, but not really locost.

Luego Viento?
Wilkingj has one, and he's a generous-sized chap... 
Here's a link with a picture for comparison - the Viento alongside a normal-sized Vortex (go down the thread a bit).

have you sat in a luego or viento or a +442, they are huge compared to the rush, the tunnel in the rush takes up a lot of cockpit space in comparison
to others

i got a viento and am 6'1" and 25stone, i fit fine, feet don't get much room ( size 12 )but then only tried it with bloody great
boots on, when its on the road think it will need deck shoes or bare feet.

I shoehorn myself into a normal width tiger supercat. I'm 6'5" and over 18 stone. Would have more fun in the xxl I'm sure
who says you can't drive a kit car when you're 6'5"?

Just don't try to get into a Striker (or an old Caterham)...
..."snug" is a fair description.

I hope you can too
I know the company had difficulties a while back but I wasn't sure what had happened since - clearly they're ok now

Have to say the MNR is wide/long enough.
Our friend Agriv8 is the tall guy, 6'8" if I recall and has a V8 in his...

I think the original company went bust and were then taken over, they in turn sold out to the current owners Ben and Stewart Lord. A father and son
team and really top blokes, really helpful and full of advice, (I didn’t like Stewart the father very much, he is as old as me (oldish) and only looks
35, the swine ) Ben was involved in F1 before Luego so he knows his stuff.
Good product too, really well made chassis, and if it fits me at 6’ 6” and 22 stone it will fit anyone.
They have a place in Hull and a place up here in Kintore which is another bonus for me.
