Do tall people fit a GT40 or replica?

[NASCAR]

By tall i mean 6'2"+.

No. 8 rules ( last time today ).

jeremy Clarkson 6'4" owend and drived 1

David James 6'6" owened and drive 1

I think 6'4" would be comfortable, although the seat can actually be lowered 2" from the standard manufactured position.

Clarkson owned a Ford GT (The 2004-2007 're-make').

When TopGear tested an original GT40 (Mk I ?), he was unable to fit in it (they actually got Noel Edmonds to drive the car for the feature).

Clarkson has driven a GT40, not sure if it was a real one or a rep. though

think it had a hump on the roof & the seat lowered

I thought he owned a GT? I didn't think he could get into a GT40. I believe that the GT is about 43/44 inches high & taller people can fit in.

He did own a GT (actually he owned two apparently after FORD took his first one away).

Didn't think he owned a GT40 as there is no way he could get in. I tried and I'm 6'4" tall and the roof came up to my face cheeks.

No, only one, it was the same car.

[Biggriff]

Thought Ford took it away and gave him another as the previous one was still playing up due to the aftermarket stereo and satnav that he had fitted.

I could be wrong and it could be the same car.

Have a read of my post here http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... It would be fair to say I have a better insight into the car than most .

I stand corrected. I will write 10,000 hail mary's
