Hi, im thinking of getting an Esprit, which of the models has the best leg room for driver ?

Im 6ft 6in, 36inch legs, or am I going to be too tall ?

Any help appreciated

Hi,I'm thinking you're pushing the limits of comfort. That said, if you look on the next page (6th March) there's a similar thread with some opinions of 6'+ tall people, all which have no issues. Plus there's a link with some info

Best would be to track one down and try it out. Good luck!

Hi Marc,

i am 6ft 5, and have had S1, S2 /2.2, S3, Stevens, Turbo and V8,s, sport 350.

I still have a few, best bet is Hi-wing, or V8 without comfort seats. GT3 will be ok too, again because of the seat.

I used to remove the runners in all my early cars, many new owners of my cars have all complained about the lack of seat runners when they brought my cars later on, you get around 1 1/2 inchs by doing so.

Sunroof or not will be a factory, avoid anything with sunroof unless its the factory lift out as the headling will get in your way, having said that my S1 with sunroof, all it means is i drive slightly crook in the neck.

You will never be able to wear a helmet in one.
