Hi guys,

After 5 years I've finally managed to get enough money together to buy a car but finding one I can fit in is proving a bit of a challenge (I'm 6'4" ). So I have a few questions that could aid my search.

1. How big is a standard Robin Hood 2B. I know it's Sierra based, so is it quite big inside too?

2. Would it be easy to adjust the pedal position is something like a Westfield to increase the length (my main problem is moving my foot from the throttle to the brake without hitting my knee on the wheel, which leads to my third question...)

3. Has anyone fitted a slightly dished wheel to increase knee clearance and did it work?

I went for the removable steering wheel.

For those who can't do that, the flat-bottom steering wheels seem to help with the getting-in and getting-out.

Best of luck

No, not easy to move pedal position, but ...

I raised the steering column, fitted a smaller wheel and when I had the quick release boss welded onto the steering column had the column lengthened by a couple of inches.
