BWE do a wider version of their Locust, called the Hornet. They don't really have a good internet presence, and the locust enthusiasts club web site is probably the best port of call for them. www.locust.org.uk/

ISTR Dax did one as well.

Luego produced a large 7 version using standard track of a Sierra (not sure if they are still around?). MKs are fairly roomy.

The large Luego is collosally big in every proportion, the average driver seems to have about 18" of fresh air between the back of their seat an the rear bulkhead, and its sheer size makes it look ridiculous in my opinion.

FWIW, a stock Locost is about the same passenger compartment size (width and length) as an SEiW Westie. MKs are a bit wider again I thinl, and the chassis is a bit higher to allow more engines under the bonnet without a bulge / hole.
