The dimensions on the site for all the cars are: wheelbase 94mm and width 56mm. At 1/32 scale, that works out at a wheelbase of around 9-foot 8-inches for the actual car...
The eight racing cars that George has used for inspiration - rather than exact scale modelling - were different sizes, but from the figures I can dig out he's in the right ballpark. Most of the true Edwardian racing cars were absolute monsters to carry their 10 to 20 litre engines. Most were a one-off design for racing. Race cars started to get smaller, lighter and with more familiar sized engines from about 1909 through to 1915. A 3-litre 1911 Delage I found was described as 'comparatively short' at 8 foot 11 inches (MotorSport archive here).
A 1/32 scale figure standing (or sitting) next to George's driver and mechanic would help. When I saw the prototypes, I can't remember those figures being out of scale... only that the cars looked spectacular together.
