that's probably good advice! do you know of anyone tall who drives one. are tvr's generally smallish on the inside?

Peter Wheeler was getting on for 6'7" and he certainly drove them extensively. It's the main reason there tends to be loads of driver legroom in these cars.

I'm 6'4" and have at least an inch of headroom available, more if I tilt the seat back a little more. My car has had adjustable pedals fitted and they are not wound fully down. I think the std pedals would be fine too as I test drove one. Column is adjustable too. I use mine daily.

Look for a later car, post 2000 I think, they have a higher windscreen so you can see out better.
I'm 6' 4" also & have problems seeing the traffic lights in a 98 cerb. I fit in ok but with a helmet on it’s a very tight fit. I think the later cars have Tuscan seats that you can take the base out of for track days to get around this problem.

later car have a removable section in the seat so as to buy you an inch or two.

Well documented and very favourable Top Gear Clarkson early Cerb review...first thing he comments on is the amount of driver leg/head room and the fact that he doesn't need the seat all the way back...He's 6'6" IIRC

A lad was looking at mine at a show recently and worried about size as he is 6' 5" and thinking about a cerb. His face was a picture when he tried it and found that it was finesmile
