To be fair, Im just about 5'8" with thick soles on, but I tend to have the seat well layed back in the daily driver. I must admit, the TVR does take a lot of stretching, so perhaps Ill get 2 blankets!!
Sorting the diff. bearings out, then putting it back in mine and connecting it to the engine would help but I guess it might come in over budget especially with all the new brake bits!
