My wife and I are interested in getting a classic Mini project.

My first question above is: Can I fit?

I'm 6'5'' Tall and even though I should look rediculous in it. I still love small cars the most. So, my questions is just that. Can it be built in some manner that I would be able to drive it without getting a stiff neck?

 

Sure...just extend the sunroof.

Seriously, 6'5" may be pushing the limits of headroom in a Mini unless you can almost sit on the floor.

 

You can surely get seat extenders to put the seat back to give you the legroom. It really depends on your body type. I would recommend finding someone with a Mini and try it out. Some people have really long legs that give them the height. Some have long torsos.. so it will depend.

 

I know someone who is 6'11" and drives a mini with no problems. (with seat extenders of course)

 

Cool thank for the replies. That is helpful. I am tall from torse. Which is why I hate shopping for shirts lol. My legs are of average length.

 

I'm 6' 4" and carry my height in the torso (wear tall shirts for the length). I have a '79 RHD classic. I installed seat extenders and I slighty recline the seat. I am thinking about a smaller diameter steering wheel to ease entry and exit - but other than that..... Motor On

 

Sweet

 

When Clint Eastwood was the mayor of Carmel, Calif. he drove a mini to work
every day. Don't know how tall he is but I'd guess about 6'4"

 

i'm 6'11" 280lbs and can drive a mini no prob.....even without seat extensions, if i had to !!! long distance drives mean more breaks to get out and stretch....but you'll be alright !!

 

Hi..don't be such a wimps all you tall blokes, seat right back and tuck your knees under your chin and DRIVE easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy........

 

just take out the front seat and drive from the rear.......we all call that the Officer Hightower set-up

 

Hey Lessk maybe we could get together an you could try one of my minis on for size.
I recently had to take my seats out of my mini pickup to work on the interior and for the fun of it I got in and sat on the floor. I had trouble seeing over the dash and I'm only 5'12". I would say look for thinner seats if your head keeps hitting the roof.

 

Hey that would be fantastic!

We just got our '09 Mini and love it. I'm more old school so I would really like to try it out!
