donut has an MK, slight;y bigger than book, unfinished, but he's in croyden.
Steve m is near crawley, not to fa, just down the m23, I had a ride in his, though the book chassis did strike me as being on the smaller side, hence
the mcsorly +4 +6 chassis....
all IMO
Ned.
beware, I've got yellow skin

As Ned says my car is "book built" in all chassis dimesions, and as I am only 5'5" tall it poses no problems, i would say that
for any comfort that any one over 5'8' ish that you would need to think about a longer /wider chassis, but there are ways around these
dimensions ie seats right back on the rear firewall and pedals mounted closer to the front firewall
my car is built exactley for me, and as i know that i will never get taller, the peddles and seat are fixed
I may get wider and their is plenty of expansion in the seating area to accomodate
however as years go on i may/will get shorter in which case wooden blocks will be added to the peddles
I ma in crawley if you would like to come down. just email me
