It's a shame but I doubt that you'd fit. I'm 5ft 11in, have 31in legs and size 9 shoes. With seat back as far as it will go I reckon I'm about maximum 'happy' size - steering wheel just the right distance and head nicely on headrest. For me, perfect. However, I'm now eighty so it's time to move it on.

The hinges are solid iron and aren't worn. I suppose there's a very slight drop when the doors are open but it's never concerned me - there's always going to be more movement with fibreglass than steel. I suppose the door closing technique I've developed over the years is 'a slight lift and short pull in'. The doors offer a wider leg access than some other Brit sports cars.

That's a good coincidence. Yes, the previous owner was Ann Davidson of Hemel Hempstead. She sold the car to Ginetta and I bought from them in 1998. I never met her, of course.

Yes, the whole package is just coming up to 40k. It's been pampered. It's also very original, I haven't tried to customise or increase performance etc.
