How tall do you need to be to reach pedals?

[igg]

As nearest TVR dealer is quite a distance I thought I'd ask here first

What is the minium height you reckon you need to be to be able to drive a Cerbera and still reach pedals, and see out of it? I'm not that tall (5ft 7inches), and my wife is a good couple of inches shorter - as I don't know if there is height adjustment on seats etc. I thought I'd ask - any advice/experiences please?
Thanks

That short i'd have guessed you'd need to get a custom pedal box or get the seat moved forward an inch or so...

Leven Tech pedals will sort you out.

Thanks, so I take it that one needs to be 6ft or over (Mr Wheeler size) to drive one without mods?
Just wondering how I'll test drive one - perhaps I ought to take a cushion!

I'm 5'7" and the wife is 5'2", we drive the Cerb no problem.

There's no height adjustment on the seat - when you drive one you'll know why!!

Well done, you meet the requirements.

Section 9 of the owners handbook says that you must be at least a couple of inches taller than your wife so as to avoid unecessary arguments when she decides she wants to drive. TVR recommend the following response 'Sorry love, you're too short'

lol @ Andy.

I posted a similar thread earlier in the week, as I am stretching fully to use the clutch at 5'8" with chunky soled Cat boots on. The pedals are adjustable tho, will get the Cerb out the garage later and see what adjustment I have left, if not, I will go the Leven route.
