Will I fit?

[Tnut]

Well after many years of hot hatches and currently a van (for the mountain bikes) i'm after a chim but i'm a tall lad at 6 foot 6 inches.

So big question before I start doing more than research and traveling out to see a few. Am I going to be able to drive one?

Cheers folks

Hi Tnut The pedels on the chim are adjustable . Im 6ft 2inch and its fine . Pedels will go forward about 3 inch i think , So you should be ok .

JC,

[Tnut]

[Jonny cobra]

I dont have a problem at 6'4 but i have an inside leg of 24" and shaved my head so the roof can go on!!

Seriously...Peter Wheeler was a tall guy at over 6'4" so why would he make a car he couldnt fit in.

[Derek Smith]

I'm 6'3" and my Chim was the first sports car that fitted me. And, on top of that, the seat has further rearward adjustment. Looking through the windscreen is rather unusual for me.

[Bassfiend]

I've always regarded myself as 6'3" but the lady at the hospital last week pronounced me to be 6'4" and I'm a not inconsiderable 136kg too and I fit just fine...

...of course getting in and out with the roof on is an art that is aquired with time and apparently watching me get out is like watching an elephant giving birth.

This is Great news! Can't wait to get started, face lift 4l private buy here I come. Going to be hunting at the lower end of the market though depending on what I can sell the T4 for, which will be polished up and for sale tomorrow. I reckon you can have reams of paper work for a car but until you meet the previous owner you never really can tell how the cars been looked after.

[darkcat]

You'll have no problems, they look small but cos your sat 1" off the floor your fine! anyway if you have problems, take the lid off :-D

i was going to say im looking at selling, BUT if your looking at the lower end then... never mind!

You'll LOVE IT!!!!!!!

[quattrophenia]

You may as well put yourself down on the insurance as the only driver because fitting in the passenger seat is another matter all together! But then why would you want to be sitting there anyway?
Only one way to find out whether your going to fit for sure........

[Steve in Stoke]

6'7" and not a problem - and a significant reason I ended up with a Chim rather than a Boxster or S2000. The seats are good for long journeys as well, and although I am prone to lumbar ache, I've never had a problem.

[lestershaw]

Tnut, i would have thought you would have had more problems finding a mountain bike to fit you! which bike do you ride? i have an ibis mojo and a yeti575:-) how much are you looking for for your t4?
Lester 6`2 and plenty of room

Spesh enduro 2006 in xl size. recently pimped it up with some hope wheels, fox 32's and tech m4 brakes. Had looked at a new one last year but found very little that felt right hense the rebuild ! So those of you with bikes, rack for the back or in the boot?

[Tnut]

And the t4, well she's an 2003 ex aa now black lowered 18's with fsh 11 months MOT and the cambelt done, 80k ish on the clocks so going for it with 7 grand. Which i'm thinking should be a go, i've kept an eye on prices since buying her a couple of years ago and there is a sure increase in prices recently and with the weather picking up we'll have to see....

I'd love to keep her as there great to own not only for 5 up with bikes also it makes the le mans trip with the go peds, mini quads, bbq, fridge n geni, but think i've got a window to run a chim before little one come along so i'm hoping to go for it.

6 foot 6 inches and 23 stone,on my 5th TVR now

[JamesK]

As others say, no problem at all. Biggest sports car I've ever been in for driver space in terms of length.

6'5" in a Griff with ease.

[t1blk]

Hey Tnut, I'm 6'6" and large build (21.9 st), my Chim is one of the most comfortable cars I've ever owned, great seats, plenty of headroom, great legroom, for us big guys the driving position is excellent.Get one you'll love it.

[ajcj]

There are some big units in the TVR drivers' club - we should form a rugby team!

[birdistheword]

Tnut - i'm 6 5 and 19 stone and fit into a chimp no problems, i can even get out without rolling onto the pavement. PS if we are talking rugby team second row please !!!!

[BrightYellowTVR]

Tnut, I am 6'4 and 23 stone, have driven mine for 9 years not a problem. I beleive you can have some extra metal plate welded under the car, below the seat to give extra support. I was considering having this done at some point for peace of mind.

Cheers,
Jon
