Rich, I imagined you've slimmed down a little since then. Apparently there are two chassis sizes available now, one is wider by 100mm and aimed at the Big and Tall (or old and large), perhaps the vehicle I saw was that model.

Kevin, I would definitely be in need of the 100mm extra and I was concerned about the Plus Four revised roof impinging on the proper sized drivers, that doesn't seem to be a good move.
With 48" chest 6' and 15 stones I don't see that working out for me. I test drove one of those Fiat Abarth MX5 cars and it was built for young Japanese people not Europeans was my decision, lovely "little" car but to say I was cramped is understatement.

I keep my eye on the Plus Four for when the day comes that I can't bob under the Plus 8 anymore, hopefully years ahead.
