Welcome to MCO. You know the best thing would be go to your local MINI dealer and check out the size of the car. See if it works for you. Good Luck

Welcome Face...good advice D.J.... :smile:

Visit your local dealer and check it out.

Would you prefer an automatic or a manual transmission?

Howdy! I measured the opening on my MCS and from the door sill to the top of the door opening and it was 36 inches exactly. I hope this helps you and I hope it works for you too. I was reading some posts today and one talked about Gull Wing Doors which could allow for extra height...but at a signifigant increase in cost as well! Good luck!

Welcome Face to MCO. I hope I can help you with you question. The MCS from floor to head liner is 41 inches and the door opening is 36 ½ inches. Hope this helps you out.

I slip the seat all the way up and measured from the floor behind the seat to the headliner.
