Any tall Tamora drivers in the house?

[jh_007]

I'm 6`3", 18stone, wanting a Tam.

Any chaps here with similar stature enojoying the Tamora?

Experiences please?

[trefor]

You should fit. I didn't and I'm an inch or two taller (but skinny) ... pity, I'd love one.

[patsy]

6'2" and all is well.

Girlfriend is just 5' and she can drive it too.

[aromat]

buy an early one and you'll be ok.

the later ones sit you a bit higher unless you spec a lower seat pad.

I found the roof up to be an issue in a newer one.

You'll be fine… Seedy Sanchez and I went and test drove one recently and Seedy is a similar size to you… I'm 6'2 and a few pounds lighter… neither of us had any problems.

Great stuff - thanks.

So my options:

- Go for an older one with the lower seat

- Go for a newer one, and leave my platforms at home

or,

- drive around with the roof down.

Is it worth mentioing that Seedy got physically stuck in a Lotus Exige at the motorshow…?

At a mere 6' I fit into the T350 OK (and the roof is somewhat less forgiving). However, I've removed the seat cushion completely and it has given me plenty of clearance. I'm sure that your local dealer would be happy for you to pop along and sit in one of theirs just to try it for size!

Podie you are a git.

Yes it is true, but 15 years of playing rugby No8 does that to a bloke. At least the 18 stone is correctly distributed still and I am quite flexible, hence my escape from the Exige was finally achieved.

I had no problems at all with the Tamora apart from the obvious issues of roof down entry with the door opening restricted (garage wall) but that was mainly a height issue. T350 (T or C) gave me problems as the roll bars in the roof restrict head room.

Cabin is v. adaptable to pretty much all body shapes. Pedals, Steering wheel, seat etc all move.

Good friend of mine is much the same sort of build and a Tamora owner and he finds it fine.

I'll back you up on that! 2nd row then flanker since school boys days will leave you with 18 stones of pure muscle....hmm.

It's all just fuel for a love machine. Really.
