Hi all

I'm in the early stages of considering (dreaming about) a Cobra replica.

Please could anyone advise on legroom, I am 6'6 and don't know if I should just forget it now.

If it's a non-starter, any suggestions on what may have more room.

Cheers in advance

Dax and GD offer extended footwells in their cars which will accomodat you no problem................Unless you are 25 Stone to boot.
I built a car for a guy who is 6'5" and 21 stone. He had the extended footwell, slightly different seats (still looked authentic) and I modded the dash where it drops down to the trans tunnel to give him some free space for his left knee. He has had the car for 4 years now so he must be relatively happy with the fitment.
Happy hunting.

25 Stone? Not yet...working on it though!

Many thanks for your quick reply Dave, sorry if this sounds dumb, do you mean they are offered as standard, or is the extended footwell an option?

I hope it's standard or this search is going to get (even more) complicated!

Sometimes dropping the seats into a recess in the floor can help, especially if you are planning on having a roof of some sort. Choice of seat is crucial too.
