Haha like the swmbo comment. Good for you

The last owner of my car was 6'3" slim and fitted in my car with the Westfield race seat and no dropped floor. Another 2' as you are and some mods mentioned in previous posts will fit you in. It will depend on your ratio of body to leg length on which mods you need to do. I do like the comment that you don't want to frequently tune the carbs, a Westfield is usually bought because the owners like to tune, fiddle, tweak and modify their pride and joy, some actually drive it now and again

See what works for you I know some taller drivers prefer the top mounted pedals, while others prefer floor mounted. Likewise dropped floors will seat you differently to a flat floor. As James said, try a few and see what's comfortable for you

q, I would sit in one mate at a local meet - best way to see what fits- I have big feet and am quite tall and it's snug :-)

that car has floor mounted pedals. With that arrangement the pedal mounts are welded to the chassis rails so aren't moveable, other than with the adjustment in the master cylinder pushrods. With top mount pedals the pedal box is a separate assembly which can be moved back and forward to a small degree.

In response to several requests - the current mileage is just over 29,000 miles. And as I'd rather not have the car in the garage doing nothing all winter, I'll drop the price to £6,250.

I'm about the same size as you. For a start you want a lowered floor, which is common, if not standard, on newer cars. Unfortunately you budget points more towards a few years old, however lowered floors can be retro fitted. Type of seat makes a big difference too. The more modern sport turbo seat gives more room than the traditional seat. Shell type seats probably give more room yet, but I've no experience of them. I'm sure removing runners can add a bit too. Finally, I spaced my steering column down at the front and up at the rear for more room. This can easily be done but will mean altering the hole in the dash. Really finally, I found changing to a smaller steering wheel and moving it about 5 inches closer to me made a huge difference to comfort and control. The bad news is most of these changes require a bit of cash as well as time. How much is variable though.

just a thought its on bike carbs ...so not much prob and has MBE ignition...perfect goes very, very well http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/103928-1996-seiw-20-redtop-for-sale/

once carbs are set up proparly they require very little maintenance and should be good for years the fact thats in a westfield is no different to the engine been a mk2 escort. while efi is simpler in theory when something does go wrong it can be a complete pain in the bum to find the problem. there should me nothing really putting you off a good car with carbs especially if running electronic ignition
