Hi. I hope the photos demonstrate the dimensions fully for you.
I am 5’10” and approximately 82kg. I fit in very comfortably with excess room. The seats hold me very well. The seats are in a fixed position right up against the bulkhead but there is scope to move forwards if runners are to be fitted or indeed to a fixed position.

thats great thank yo, im aware they do a wide body and narrow body and being 6ft 2 this could be a squeeze, is that part of the fun hahaha

[Percy678999]

I moved the seat from a fixed position as far back as possible just because my knees were catching under a part of the dash. Moving rearward like this totally changed the driving experience for me for the better. I’d suggest that being in this furthermost rear position that it opens the car up to people taller than my 5’10”.
Like you said, it’s all part of the fun and once I’m in I never want to get out anyway. 😁

If it helps, I had an 01 plate megabird. I'm 6'5" and was around 17 stone when I had it and fitted fine with standard Westfield trimmed race seats on runners.

Only change I had was a longer and raised steering column to bring the wheel closer. You wouldn't need that for your height.

You state an issue with reverse gears/motor will it reverse as is. What makes you sure it just needs a battery. Regards Colin

[Percy678999]

When I bought the car it came with the reverse motor not fitted. So when I had it serviced at RLM last year I had the reverse motor fitted and wired in. It will reverse but drains the small battery very quickly. Just requires a larger capacity battery. However, the car is light enough to roll it to where it’s required. If I was keeping it longer I would be fitting a larger battery.

Great thank you

Someone in here mentioned 6ft 2 being an issue. I am 6ft 5 and still growing so I may need to extend the height of the roll cage 🤣

[Percy678999]

I’m 5’10”. The seat is in the furthest back position and is fixed. It’s not on runners. There is plenty of room for me with lots to spare in my opinion.

Hi, If I was to win the auction would you hold the car as I'm away from Saturday for two weeks on holiday.

Hi Colin. Yes of course.
