Would any kind soul around the DE4 postcode (Crich/Matlock area) have a Mk1 MX5 and be willing for me to come and see how I fit in the drivers seat? I'm thinking quite seriously of getting one but need to try one on for size before the hunt starts properly. I used to have a Mk3.5 and missus a Mk3 and that was fine, although I recall the Mk2 being a bit cramped (hence why I ended up with the Mk3 MR2). If the Mk1 is more similar to the Mk3 that'll be good to know, but ideally would be good to get my bum in a seat smile Not fussed about a drive, just need to see if I fit it.

Thanks Mick, if it looks like I'll have a bit of time to head out that way I'll drop you a line and arrange something with you. As you put it, a bit of a trek to stick my bum on a seat, but at least it's a gracious offer smile

Think you will be fine in a mark 1. I'm 6ft 5 and didn't really fit in a mk3 but a mk1 is ok. Tight, but ok.
