Will I fit into an Indy??

As above. I'm 5foot10 tall, bout 12stone. I sat in the Orange Tiger Avon at Exeter, and i have to say it was a bit on the short side for me. I reckon i could have driven it safely, but i would have liked the pedal box to be a few inches further down the footwell (knees too close to steering wheel).

there are plenty 6 foot tall and some lardy people (no names)who drive these cars with no problems

Ed,

No need to worry about fitting in the car!

You are about the optimum size and weight for a 7 style car. I'm 1.8m (5'11" and 76kg (12ish stone I think) and I fit in the indy perfectly.

Plus if you're building the car yourself you get to choose where the steering wheel and seat g to a certain extent.

I'm 6ft 5in, 15 stone and I slid into their demonstrator at the Donnington show no worries. Know what you mean r.e. the Tiger though. I know I am an extreme case but it felt very short to me.

I have used floor mounted pedals on my Avon and it has given me 2 inch extra leg room

Try and find someone local and have a go in one. I was told by a Tiger employee the Avon would be tight for anyone over 5'10".
