that is quick that car

There is not a lot of room behind that wheel for your legs not a place that the larger than average driver will find comfortable for very long. It sounds as good as it looks and drives very well. It will be interesting to see how the bidding goes on this one.

I’m 6 foot 2 and was relatively comfortable.

@@wbsons9956 That surprses me, you appear to be a snug fit. I am 6ft but have thighs like a ham shank and would struggle to get behind that wheel.

@@Barbarapape I’m the same 😂. It’s snug but certainly better than many other super cars of the era. Once your in its quite comfy. Getting out however …

@@wbsons9956 I once attended a Lotus open day, my friend insisted on trying to get behind the wheel of an Elise it took two strong men to get him back out again! If you want a car that is even harder to get out of try a Lamborghini Miura.😅

I may or may not have been stuck inside a Exige LF1 for longer than I’m proud of.
