maximum height to fit in a roadster

I'm currently looking at selling my Haynes and have a couple of guys interested, one is 6ft 2 and the 6ft 5, is either of them liklely to fit?

I'm only a short arse at 5ft 7 so fit lovely! Lol

I am 6 foot 6 and I fit in an Aries which I'd smaller than a Haynes. It comes down to seal choice and location, pedal box type and steering wheel arrangement. I would say they should have no issues, but it may need tweaking to suit a fully grown person!

Excuse me fully grown person? Lol

Thanks I'll pass it on

I'm 6ft 2 and fit fine in mine, good luck with the sale, priced mine cheap as chips and not so much as a nibble.

hi i built several westfield sei wide , and at 6' 3" i could drive ok.
i was around 19>20st at the time and would say that's the maximum .
width is defo the restricting factor both at the hips / legs and the shoulders .

what you need is a 5FT shoe horn !

oh and a removable steering wheel will help !

that's why i built my own car expressly for F-- F------- like me
ps i am now well north of 20st , but coming down.
