Thinking about the yellow Mark 4 in the previous post, it seems roomier than your average 4. This can only be achieved by extending the length of the cockpit which, in reality, is a great idea because a bit more legroom is certainly helpful. This is easily achieved in a Mark 4 because basically the body consists of a front panel and a back panel, joined in the middle by 2 little drop-down doors. All you need to do is move the 2 big panels further apart, make some longer doors, which doesn't look hard as the doors appear to be just a curved panel, and weld up a longer space frame to mount it on.
This photo was taken yonks ago in Russell Tippings' shed and you can see he's done just that. I lost contact with Russell for a long time and can't report on whether Russell finished his car before he died. I presume he did. Not long ago the forum was contacted by Russell's daughter. I hope she sees this photo.
This car is longer too. Richard W built it and he is a lanky over six footer so he made it comfortable for himself.
