Anybody on here 6'5"ish and still fit in a Griff? Would I be right in thinking the legroom is the same in a Chim?
I previously owned a S3 with the factory option 2" pedal box move and that was perfect. After a few years back on bikes I've got permission for a 'do you really need another silly car' smile

Peter Wheeler was 6' 4" I believe and he could fit in the Griffith.

I am 6ft 3" and have no issues in my Griffith. Plus the seat isn't fully back, believe it has one more notch to go back. Chim is the same, possible bit better pedal arrangement as I think these are slightly positioned different but not by much. Also the pedals can be adjusted.

When being a passenger, which is rare for me in my car, then it's a tight fit.

Peter Wheeler was six foot six inches and he designed the cars so that he would fit in. I'm an average five foot ten and I have to have the seat of my car as far forward as it will go!

Best thing to do is sit in one and see for yourself.

i'm 6'4 and fit ok, its no limo, but the room in the chim is the same as the griff, notwithstanding the fact that 2 tvr's are never identical. I have had 2 Elise seats fitted for even more room, headroom and leg. Later se seats have less room, as do tuscan or other non griff/chim seats. go try one!!

Cheers, I will try one for size. I was just trying to avoid the crushing disappointment. I had a poster of a Cobra on my wall from the age if 8, 10 years later I tried to get in one at a show and nearly got stuck!
I do fit in a 911 but should probably keep that quiet on here............ wink

He did put the seat runners further back in my Griff though.

Tuscan seats will let you sit much deeper if you leave the cushions out. Comfort is no issue at all as the seats are also soft under the cushions. I like it because i like to sit in instead of on top of a car, i used to drive my Tuscan like this (also long distances without any problem) and will do exactly the same in my Griff-project. (That finally went to the trimmer this afternoon.....)

I think it was a Pilgrim Sumo. I thought they would all be a similar size?

Definitely designed for the taller gentleman. I'm 5'7" or thereabouts and I had to get the pedals swapped out for an adjustable set, and have the clutch pedal near its maximum extension!
