Lightbulb I can fit - just give me the keys

Tony, Mike

Hi guys

I'm just on 6' and medium build (seriously).



I had no trouble getting into the GT40 and found that I had plenty of leg room. In fact there was lots of room around my feet and I had a good seating position.

Overall, the interior comfort, sitting position was good for me.

However, when he closed the door I found the roof was close to my head (enter the Dan Gurney bubble).

I was told ( and have previously been shown by Roarin Forties) that the floor, seat can be lowered to suit.

I built my Cobra with the floor below the chassis and this drops me right down in my Cobra, as I am long in the body. Apparently there is an option to drop the floor down a little in the Roarin Forties as well as seats to fit bigger owners in.

I guess it's this that makes the GT40 appealing to me. Seriously I was quite envious when he drove off. It would not have taken much to convince me to come along for the ride.



Cheers

Bernie
