How tall for an FF1600 or Radical Clubsport
Discussion
Radical shouldn't be a problem as it is a sportscar/gt i.e a 'sort of' two seater, so has more elbow/shoulder room. The FF1600 depends more on the chassis/make and age, the newer cars have much higher and more chassis tubing around the driver's upper body, so if you are a 'fat' or wide 6 footer you may struggle getting in and out of it, changing gear and also the footwell can be quite small, the older classic cars generally have more room, so may be a better bet.

Consult Malcom Barfoot, ..... if he can get in any car, you definately can!!!!
I'm 6ft 2in and have driven both. No problem with either. However the FF was a Tiga so quite old.
The Radical is bigger as it was designed for lardy arsed businessmen.
The only prob. I can remember with the Radical was some wind buffeting around my head at high speeds.

Carrying less and less weight by the week, however I am quite broad across the shoulders. I've driven an old swift ff1600 on a circuit experience day, but think that was "modified for the masses".Any recommendations for good sites to look on for cars for sale, and/or the best chassis to aim for on about a £10k budget.
