Default Newcastle based S2000's?

Morning all,

I have a thread up in General about me being fat and fitting in a S2000 - https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/107...dering-an-s2k/

I was wondering if anyone in the Newcastle area would be happy for me to try sitting in their drivers seat for a minute? I do not wish to drive the car more just see if I can fit in one yet and close the door etc.

If I cannot fit/uncomfortable then I will try again in a few months time as my weight loss continues. I would goto a dealer's (not messing a private sale around) but their appears to be none for sale via trade in the North east at the moment.

Anyone able to help me out?

Cheers,

Rob

Michael, that would probably not be too far for me to come, thank you for the offer. When would be most suitable for you and we can work something out, cheers.

Hi, I'm fine with that. Just for info, it's a '56 reg. But like women, they are all the same on the inside!

If its got the latest seats with no holes in the headrests then they're slightly higher than the older ones.

It's not much, but it might just make it a bit easier to fit.

Can of course fit the lower seat rails to it and/or modify the seat base itself to make it lower.

Also the early door cards are flatter than the facelift ones which might give a bit more leg room.
