Any tall drivers
Discussion
Last year I took a trip to christopher neils in Cheshire and had a look at a Tuscan and although loved it, broke my heart to find out that I didn't fit comfortable in it. I am 6ft 5in and my legs were very uncomfortable.
I ended up with an E46 M3 Cab and love it to bits but a year on and I'm getting itchy feet agian and TVR is drawing me back.
Cerbera's have always taken my fancy and before I get too inolved with looking into getting one, can anyone who owns one and is tall if there is more legroom and could take a my giant legs. The other models that I like are the T350 and Tamora and if anyone knows if I would fit in either of these then it would save me another embarrasing journey.

I remember Oggs (6 foot something, makes Vin Diesel look puny!) drives a chim, and when he gets in a Cerb, his head rests against the rollbar!
So I'd take the Peter wheeler height thing with a pinch of salt...
I dont think you wanna drive her laying backwards unless your arms have the reach... I think thats how some 'lanky' fellas get in, arms gotta be scraping the floor when you stand

As has been said before, it depends on whether you're long in the leg or body. I'm long in the leg, short in the body, just under 6'6 and fit fine.
However a friend of mine is slightly shorter, but with opposite proportions and he cannot sit in some cars I sit in comfortably.
Forget about the Tamora - you won't fit.
The t350 has less room than the Cerb (I just fit)
Sagaris has more headroom (because of the 'lump' about the drivers head!
Cerbera is the most roomy, I think.

I'm 6'4" and fit in the Cerb just fine although there's not a lot of gap to the roll bar! Have to adjust my driving position slightly to accomodate a crash helmet though!
I don't fit in a Tuscan either although the Tamora & T350 (especially the 'T') are fine albeit not as comfortable as the Cerb.

Bazza has hit the nail on the head. I am 6' 6" and the trick is NOT to have the seat all the way back. It compromises the driving position by being too far away from the wheel. My head hit the padded rollbar too with it right back but I quickly found I was much more comfortable with the seat slightly forward and slightly more upright. No more headroom problems and I felt alot more comfortable to boot. I drove a Griffith for 3 years using the same principle (and that had no rollbar).
The Peter Wheeler thing is entirely true by the way. He had to fit in and drive all the models....

Yeah he is huge, all the more reason I think its a farce... I can just about fit in my beast, and I'm only 5'11 of slim build.... so I dont know how someone 6'5 with broader shoulders and calves as big my thighs, and one glute as big as both of mine, can fit in there!!!????!! (well comfortably that is, maybe you have to break the seat in... or ask for the over 6'4 spec when ordering... 
By the way deb, what a fine looking lady you are!
Too bad about eagor standing next to ya....

The photo was taken in the last couple of years at one of the Tuscan racing meets. I have a collection of me & Mr Wheeler photos - it is an obsession of mine. He now makes me stand on a wheel or a chair so we are the same height.
