Convertible - tall driver

[verssus]

Hi,
I am looking to buy a convertible, hopefully at least somewhat fun to drive.
Due to my height, I don't fit into most 2 seaters (SLK, MX5..).

Idea is to buy something just for fun, additional to my regular car, thinking of E46, 1st gen CLK for around 4k
Or to replace my current car, then something like E93 or so for around 10k but it would have to be in great condition and low mileage.
Any other suggestions? Cars I mentioned don't seem very driver focus, any good alternatives but more fun?

Get a CLK500 don't worry about the mileage they can take it but check the condition & when the gearbox fluid was changed & also when the spark plugs were replaced all 16 of them.

You must be huge, I'm 6' 5" and fitted the 2nd Gen SLK very easily indeed. Loved that little car - except the auto box.

Indeed - 6'3" and I've had quite a few convertibles - only one which would cause issues for anyone taller would be the Alfa Spider. Best was MR2 Roadster

TVR's were always build to accommodate Peter Wheeler who was 6'7" as I remember
