Lotus 7 copy / Cobra kit car owners in/around Milton Keynes?

[fwaggie]

I'm toying with the idea of buying one of these two, but being 6'5" and a knackered leg (doesn't bend well) I need to see if I can fit in any of the various types of these.

So if there are any owners of the bike engined Lotus 7 copies, normal engined Lotus 7 copies or any of the Cobra kits in or around Milton Keynes who wouldn't mind me coming along and seeing if I can fit in the drivers seat, and maybe even a taking me for a spin round the block (petrol paid for of course, dosh or beer!) it'd be *really* appreciated!

I'm on hols this week so anytime is great for me.

I'm 6'3" and own an Mk Indy Bird. I live up near Daventry, but would be quite happy to come down and take you out for a turn round the block. I don't even have my seat all the way back either!

Thanks Snake, much appreciated!

I'll give it a little while to see if any locals reply, don't want to put you out travelling here if we don't need to

I've got a Dax Tojeiro De-Dion Cob. I'm just over 6'2" and fit comfortably (unlike a lot of Cobs where the steering wheel is sitting in your lap). Would be happy for you to have a sit in it and take you for a spin (assuming I have no problems when I start it for the first time this weekend after doing some major engine surgery... new cam/heads/timing set/dizzy and valvetrain!) I'm in Northampton.
