Default Like the Jalpa, but I'm tall

Hello:

I've always liked the Jalpa and thinking about getting one, but I'm 6"3" with long legs. I've driven/owned italian cars before so I know it'll be cramped, but I was hoping to get an idea of what to expect. BTW, I fit well in my old x/19(seat back & reclined to the firewall), but a 308 was iffy.

Thanks!

Yeah there is no problem at all with the height. Another issue is the size of your feet. I run into a problem that certain shoes will hit two pedals at once.

I am 6 foot and 200 lbs and have plenty of room in the car.
They are much better for room than a ferrari for a guy like me.
I have entertained selling mine. Contact me if interested.

There is no need. There is plenty of leg room.

Does the same apply to the Urraco? I'm 6'2" and would really be interested if I can fit.
