Yesterday I viewed a Tiger Super 6 and a Westfield SEi.

In both cars my hips only just fit, and in the Westfield I didn't have enough leg/knee/steering wheel room when I took my foot off the clutch.
(I was gutted - otherwise I would have bought the Westfield).

I think that the SEiW is 1.5-2" wider in each passenger compartment, and longer so have to try one.

How does a MK Indy, Tiger Super Cat and Mac#1 Type 7R compare width wise??

Had a passenger ride in the Westfield. Was shaking when I got out. Not sure if it was cold, excitmenet or being shaken to death but I bloody loved it. biggrin

You are in luck, I'm at the workshop this morning. An MK Indy is 37mm wider internally on the driver's side than a standard Westfield SEi

I don't sell the MEV Rocket anymore but I can say the cockpit is 1100mm wide and you can fit a 6'7" guy in weighing 22 stone as I did sell one to such a chap. Due to there being no transmission tunnel there is plenty of room to ensure size 12 shoes do not press 2 pedals at the same time too.
Not a 7 though if that is what you desire. The Sonic is similar in size.

You would fit into our Supercat but if you wanted even more space there is the Supercat XL.

See my profile.

is the cat/supercat wider than a super six? How much wider is the XL?

Good question. I'm afraid I don't know the width of the Super Six nor do I have the Supercat width to hand. The XL is about 3" wider at the back of the cockpit.
I will investigate in the morning and post an answer.

The Tiger Super Six is one of the narrowest 7's I've ever tried to sit in, almost any of the modern derivatives is wider, including the tiny Striker.

Super Cat measures 120cm into the footwell or 102cm to the pedals. It measures 44cm 'across the hips'. The XL has an extra 5cm across the hips.
