Default Can my wife get in and out of a Daytona Coupe?

Hey, we are going to be in the Cincinnati area Thursday April 29 through Sunday, May 2nd. Is there anyone in the area with a Factory Five Daytona Coupe that would be willing to let us see how hard it is to get in and out of it before we order one? We are coming back to the London show but would like to order before then if we know it will work for us. Thanks.

It's difficult if you're very tall. Small doorway and low roof.

Default seats

Hi,
Get the roadster style seats not the tall seats with side bolsters, the sides are a pain to crawl over.

One or the other, but not both.

And the car is low to the ground too.

If you execute this event properly, she will not be able to get in or out and better yet, not want to drive it!!

You do not get in and out of a Daytona Coupe (or a GT40). You wear it - you put it on and take it off.

Short of trying to accomplish the impossible, it's all about motivation!
