Dunno about height - my wife and I are both much shorter than that.

We insure through ClassicLine. This year cost us £197 for a 3000 mile limited mileage policy, no requirement to be garaged, social use only (no commuting) and that's with me with 6 points in the past 5 years (although 3 have actually expired now).

Edit: If you haven't bought yet then we're selling ours shortly - see my profile.

I think you'll struggle TBH.

With the hood down, there's a limit to how far you can recline or move the seat back before it fouls on the hood frame.

There are metal "protectors" on the seat backs because of this, but most cars have some wear & damage to the leather here.

It's not a big problem. However 6'4 is probably the limit.

You can take the spacers out and lower the seats which helps a lot.

If you need any help give me an IM.

Know of a lovely red SE with respray and new hood with a full set of new hoses recently fitted. Nice car.

I have a bias opionion here but the M100 is a fantastic car and after nearly 4 years of ownership mine still makes me grin on every journey!
