I'm 6'4", approx 19 stone and fitted, just, in an MK Indy. With a few other 7's I found that my hip bones were squashed
getting in, which meant even loosing weight would be a no go.
I found a Robin Hood about the same as an Indy.
Certainly though having a removable steering wheel is the way I'm going to go for getting in and out.
Peddle spacing was the biggest problem. I found one (can't remember which) that was OK ish with trainers on. Didn't check the MK as it was
the electric one so only had go and brake peddles.

Luego Viento, Its bigger than anything else.
12" longer than a std Locost.
6" wider
4" taller
Will fit any V8 or Straight 6 with ease.
I have Rover V8 in mine, and there is 12-18" between the end of the engine and the fans at the back of the Rad, Also has plenty of room either
side... Have a look through my Photo Archive.
Viento is bigger than all the others.
I'm 5'10" and 20.5 Stone, and its more than big enough for me.
Plus it drives very nicely.

If you are wanting the largest 7 the viento is BIG, but my vote MNR me 6'6" lanky legs and big feat about 16 stone fit in MY MNR no probs
dont even need to take my removable steering wheel off.
LWB dax is long but not good if you have big wide feet. trust me I have tried though this was the V8 chassis.
If you are doing the rounds you a quite welcolm to have a sit in mine and check for size.

Can't promise that this hasn't been photoshopped by someone, but this is a photo to show size of an Escort axled book dimensioned car next
to a Viento.

viento is the biggest followed by Robin Hood 2B.
Ned next time you see a Dax have a good look at it.
The cockpit is locost size but with less leg room due to the V8 normally housed in it.
Granted they look big mainly due to the wide back end.

I'll second that. Did an mot once on a V8 Dax, I just could NOT get my size 12 feet onto the pedals properly OR sit down in it.
I can in a Viento.
Oh I'm 6' 4".
Weight = BFB

I tried a viento and an MNR vortx back to back at Harogate..
Vortx won the day, I am 6'5" and it was by far the most comfortable..
That was when I weighed 17 stone, now only 15.5 stone so I rattle about in it a bit more..
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!
