Will I fit?

[Rotary Madness]

Hi, was wondering if anyone could help me with something. Basically Id like an mx5, but im worried I wont fit. So can anyone tell me, would a 6'5" guy, built like a rake, with size 13 shoes be able to fit in a mk1 properly?

Or would it just be ridiculous?

You might look a bit like Ed China when he drove a Spitfire on Wheeler Dealers lol

But seriously this has been asked many times on various 5 forums. If you fit a smaller steering wheel, remove footrest & door pulls (replace those with straps) & do a foamectomy on the seat (ie remove some foam) you should be fine.

Best to try one for size though i guess.

Here`s just one topic on your issue courtesy of Google. there are a few 6ft 5" guys on there.

Yay! I think I might actually get some of those goggles too if I do manage to get an MX5.

Was slightly worried, as I once got into an exiege, but had to be pulled out of it by a girl standing by. This was at the London motor show in front of everyone watching

I'm 6"2, size 13 also and jsut got a MK2 - its tight but in a cosy sort of way!

When I first got it I was blatting around for hours and it never felt uncomfortable or cause me any problems.

I'm going to do the foamectomy and get a smaller steering wheel for a bit extra room.

Removing the foot rest sounds like a good idea as well, in "short" you should be fine.
