Hi Im looking at the prospect of a cerbera.
However Im 6'6" tall, so before I even get to a dealer to try and squish myself into one can you guys tell me if Ill fit in at all?

I'm 6'5" and i didn't have the seat right back, i think it depends what proportion of body/legs you are and how you like to be positioned for driving....go try one, you'll find getting in drivers seat easier than getting in passenger seat so don;t be put off!!

6'5 and a bit and the Cerbera was fine. In fact, it's certainly better than any other model I've tried (Tamora, S, Tuscan, t350, Sagaris, Griff, Chimaera).

I think the Cerbera must have more drivers leg room than any other car available.

Am I correct on this? Its just a guess but I wouldnt be surprised.

I agree with this. Loads of leg room.

IIRC Peter Wheeler is taller than 6ft6 and I think he can fit quite nicely.

I have heard problems for people who are tall, not long legged people but people with longer upper bodies. Sure I've read it somewhere on here.

How about going for a test drive. That way you'll know.

I have no problems, but I'm only a shortarse at 6'3" - the seat is far from being at the endstop of the runners.

I believe the former owner of mine was 6'7"-ish and he evidently had no problems.

And now we know you'll fit, I've got just the thing for you

I'm a comparative short-arse at 6'4", and I could only just reach the pedals when I sat in a cerb with the seat back.

Didn't have the seat back all the way in my Chimaera or the Griffith, and also had more headroom than pretty much any car I've sat in.

Suggest you take one for a test drive. Oh, don't forget your chequebook.

Don't forget, the former owner of TVR is about 8'6".

I've been looking at buying my first TVR too , and found that I can fit in a Chimaera (good all round space) - same in a Cerbera (more legroom, but a little closer on the headroom), but can't get in to a Tuscan due to the lack of headroom!

And I'm (only) 6' 3"...

Anyone else found Tuscans kinda small?
