Yeah, I'm dead on 6 foot and sometimes wish the top rail of the screen was a tad higher, but if you recline the seat a way it's ok.

It was an original 'V-Spec' with tan interior but this was replaced with a black interior when the tan one wore out. The wheels are the original factory BBS 'optional extra' fitted with Pirelli P-6000s.
It also has strut braces, cold air induction, a cat bypass pipe (except when it's MOT time!!) and a stainless sports exhaust. My elbows still hurt from winding the springs down when I replaced the suspension last year aswell.
I also replaced the hood with a acrylic 'mohair' hood with heated screen.
All in all It costs me almost as much as a new car to keep it in fine fettle, but I'll never sell it.
And anyone who calls these cars 'hairdressers cars' has never thrown one down a nice country A-Road with the a*se end sliding out of the bends!
Oh and i have a tin box made by Ford for the rest of the week.
