Can anyone please help advise what sort of legroom the Morgan aero has for a tall person?

I’m 6ft 5. Is there any chance I can fit?

Im most interested in either the aero supersport or the Aeromax.

Thanks

I have a Series 1 Aero 8 and the Supersports and at 6 foot 2 I find there is plenty of leg room!
I have been looking to change them recently and was keen on a DB9 GT and found the leg room much less generous ! I think the Morgan is more of a challenge to get in and out though - however with the roof off its so much easier!
hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply. Do you have your seat all the way back?

Is the leg room in your 2 cars the same or is one more generous than the other?

I’m thinking if I can try and find one of the two locally to sit in then are they very similar in terms of room

Thanks

Where abouts are you?
Some of the Aero GTs had Tillet seats fitted, if leg room was a problem I'm sure this would free up a few inches.

The SS doesnt have the Tillet seats and so the legroom is the same as the S1.

I’m near Norwich.

Are those seats a factory option?

Only on the GT, but I retrofitted them into my old caterham, so it wouldn't be difficult to do in the Aero.
Sorry I'm in Wiltshire, so a bit far to come to try a seat, however if you are passing you'd be more than welcome

Tillet seats are an option on the S5 aero and the Aero Plus 8 as well as the GT

Simon, don't know if this will help as I'm only 6ft and rather slim. I do though have a 36in inside leg measurement, yet with the seat all the way back on my S1 Aero 8 couldn't use the pedals properly; so had about 2in spare legroom.

Cheers

Philip

Is anyone going to mog 19 next weekend in Norwich at all? I’m planning on going and trying to find someone who will let me have a sit in their car to check the legroom. I live local so it’s really handy that the event is coming to Norwich!
