'7' Style kit car for the 'larger chap'

[skene]

Hi guys,

I know you get widebodied Westfields and such but how wide are these? I'm 6ft 1, 44" waist and probably a 52"ish chest. Basically am I ever going to fit in a 7?

I like the look of a Fury style car which I've heard is bigger inside(?) but it's really a 7 I want just for that complete exposed components kit car feel.

Working to a budget of around £5-6k (If this is even realistic) what would be the engine to look at? I've seen plenty pinto engine'd ones in and under budget, are these reliable etc?

Thanks

I'm relieved you guys are saying it shouldn't be too much of an issue I was expecting lose some weight you fat st

I've just realised the Luego factory is just 2 miles from my house! Is there much of a second hand markets for these?

Thanks

I'm sure I've seen that yellow one for sale! It looks quite nice!

Thanks Greig, my post was poorly worded, I meant are these available often second hand, but then if you say they are of poorer quality it may be worth giving these a body swerve.

So by the sounds of things an older Westy seems like it would be the thing? Are these available for my budget? I see there are a few 1.6/1.7 Xflows and Pintos for sale, would I be better off holding out for a 2.0 Pinto (I think I know the answer to that).


When you say anything else is specialist, I guess I was being quite ignorant to think that below a Westy and Caterham theyre pretty much all the same with a different name
