65 Lotus Elan
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2020 3:08 pm
Hello,
I have been lurking here for years and I always wanted an Elan. I was going to buy an Elan coupe about 10 yrs ago but felt it might be a little to small for me so I decided a DHC was the way to go since I won't drive with with the top on anyway. I am 6'1" with a long torso and the car I am looking at is disassembled so I cannot figure it if it is too small or not. I do not care if it is cramped but I need a reasonable amount of room. Is there enough room in the footwell to add a dead pedal ? Are there different pedal box options in order to get a little bit more room in between the pedals ? By the way I used to own a 67 Austin Cooper S just for reference.
