Any ideas for a 7 type car with a cockpit for a 6'3" fella?

Just the standard Dax chassis would probably do as well if you fit the right seats. I'm 6'2" and dont even have the pedal box full forward.

Being just a smidgeon over 6'3" and what is technically known as "a bit of a fat knacker" I looked at all the various 7s. Caterham and Tiger were just too snug, which was a shame because I really liked the Tigers. The Luego is IMHO a bit on the large size and so a bit out of proportion.

The Dax and westfield were both comfy and can take a v8 and the companies have a good reputation. It was cost which led me to choose a Dax.

The answer is yes you can fit. Get to a show, Stoneleigh is best as it is biggest. Go sit in all the cars, chat to the manufacturer, chat to the owners and do the sums.
