I am seriously considering purchasing a TR4A and have a basic question.
At 6 feet 3 inchess tall...will I fit?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Most likely.  My father is the same height as you and seems quite comfy in 3s and 4s.  Of course you could have extremely long legs or torso and throw that all out of wack.  At 6' I have no complaints about either model.

Thank you for your quick response Tracey. I will be viewing the car later this
week and will post the result. I did find some information in an earlier post that indicates that the driver's seat can be adjusted a little.
regards,  Steve

I can tell you that it will be a bit tight.  But there are two things that I did to help the situation.  First I got a 13 inch steering wheel.  Then I moved the driver's seat about 1/2 inch toward the middle of the car.   This allowed me to move the seat all of the way to the back ( I do have early TR6 seats in the car).  But I think that you will have the same situation.  The head room is not a problem, the leg room is the problem.  And it will depend on whether your height is in your legs or your torso.  But I believe that either situation can be solved.  I can provide simple details if you get to that point with the car.

Hi Steve,
That is about my height and at this stage of life I am a bit on the portly side also. It is a cozy fit for me, but I have owned 3 TR4's over the past 30+ years, so it obviously has not been a big enough problem to discourage ownership.
On my current TR4A, I have the smaller steering wheel which helps, but have not seen it necessary to move the seat back as Charley mentioned.
On extended trips, you may need to take more frequent 'leg stretching' breaks, but it's a small price to pay for enjoying a great car and hobby.
Good luck with the car.
