I am 6'2" and 88ish Kg
The top of my head is below the top of the windscreen in the Kirkham
I can stretch my legs out straight, past the pedals.
Driving position seems good, I will let you know once I get to drive it

6ft 4 1/2in and 300lbs
I have a stretched harrison and the floorboards are on the bottom of the chassis rails. I look through the middle of the screen. I have a long back and tried a few cobra's on for size and was always looking straight at the top of the screen and my legs were getting in the way of the steering wheel. (I also have done the same with a 6C Alfa)
Comfortable now and I can drive it for miles, just need the time to do it.

Must be the way the first owner built it Deano.
I'm 5' 9" and 90kg and there's plenty of room for me in my G-Force. I was careful in seat and steering wheel placement when I built it. My seat is down between the rails, as are most. If any thing they're a bit tight on elbow room, but it's not a concern.

6'2", 200 lbs. 35" inseam, 'West Coast Dreams'.
Kellison continuation. I had to specify required cockpit mods and use different seats, but I can straighten my left leg pushing on the clutch pedal. Knee room against the steering wheel, dash and door was the key measurement for me.

Can't help a shameless plug here, but one thing we are very proud of with our PACE 427's is our abundant interior space while maintaining an original dimension body. A lot of work on the computer optimising our chassis design for space.
I believe that we can fit any 6'5"+ person in our PACE 427's in comfort. And they will be looking through the middle of the windscreen while sitting on full thickness sprung seats. Plus plenty of cabin width, plenty of feet room and don't even have to worry about knees hitting the dash.
Also working on electric height adjustable seats for where there is a difference in height between drivers for the same car. e.g. husband and wife.
For track guys, with a race seat fitted your seating position is much, much lower that that even. So a very low and much safer seating position for our tall drivers when on the track.

Deano59, our standard pedal configuration is floor mounted. But you can do swinging pedals if you like. Both types have advantages and disadvantages, for us the advantages of floor mount won out, so that is why we offer them as standard.

5'7" and 135lbs wringing wet. Standard length Harrison's and flat out reaching the pedals. Can only just see over the dash. Haven't sat in a Pace but by the sound of it I might need a couple of milk creates to help out.
