I have wanted a Tuscan for a while now, but now that I am in a position to buy one I now wonder if I would fit in one......
I dont want to waste peoples time going to see a car that I cant get into so wanted to ask here.
I am 6 foot 6.

thanks in advance

Yes no problem. If you are long in body and your head touches the roof the seat squab can be easily removed, if long in leg the peddles can be moved (I've never had to move them so not sure how hard/easy it is).
The guy who looks after my car is probably taller and just takes the squab out to test drive. The only caveat would be if you were looking to go on track as a helmet could be a tight fit but I'd have thought you could adapt somehow. Or you could just take the roof off smile

TVR's were designed to enable tall people to drive them comfortably, previous owner of TVR the late Peter Wheeler had to fit in them and he was around 6'6. I am 6'3 and have no problem.

Agree with S6Boy. All TVRs were designed to be driven by Peter Wheeler, the Chairman, who was about 6 foot 6. Mat, the guy referred to, is 6 ft 7 and can drive all TVRs. As S6 said, his only issue is on track with a helmet, which necessitates removing the roof on his Chimaera.

But TBH I wouldn't want to be driving a Tuscan in the rain on a race circuit with 50 other numpties on the wrong tyres yikes

Yes you will. I'm 6'8", powerfully built (of course), and fit very snugly.
