Alfa 4C - any tall owners near Leicester?

[Simon E]

Maybe a strange question but are there any tall owners of a 4C near Leicester?

I ask this as I will be over in the UK and staying with a mate Weds to Fri of this week (I live near Barcelona). I am 6ft 3in and would specifically like to try out a car with the driver seat set to lowest at rear and highest at front. Anybody have a car with the seat set like this near Leicester?

I had the use of a 4C spider for 4 days over Christmas. I couldn't really get comfortable but stupidly didn't realise at the time that the seat height could be adjusted by taking the seat and subframe out and remounting the seat in the lowest of the holes in the rear of the frame and the highest at the front.

Just to clarify this would just be sitting in the driver seat, no driving.

I'm a few miles south of Leicester - you're welcome to sit in my Spyder.

Pretty certain mine is at the lowest position on the rear and higher at the front.

Hi Russ, that sounds great! I will try to figure out how to send you a PM so we can set something up offline.....

Worked it out, PM sent

Hi again, just had a chat with Russ and it turns out his seat is set low and low front and rear. Turns out that was the position I tried over Christmas and couldn't get comfy.

Anybody else near Leicester with driver seat set to lowest rear and highest front????

I fear you will struggle. I'm 6'4" and if I wasn't, I'd have had a 4C ages ago.

I had one for a weekend (Spider) and while it was ok for short distances, it got quite painful after a couple of hours.

Yeah I had one for 4 days over Christmas and was close to getting comfortable and that is why I don't want to rule it out until I can try a car out with the seat lowest at the rear and highest at the front. It is my dream car and I don't want to give up the dream just yet.......

I've been in contact with Jamie at the Alfa Workshop and it sounds like we are the same the height and he has the seat in his one set lowest rear and highest front but the car is not available this week, hoping to drop in there maybe on my next UK visit.

But just to check: anyone else near Leicester (maybe an hour away max) with a seat set lowest at rear and highest at front?
