Aren't you like 6'4" or 5? Are you going to have your legs surgically "modified" to fit into that "thing"?  ;D

   Na, I'm only 6'1" or so, @186 lbs., and I still fold pretty good, but it's still requires some effort to get my size 12W-13W shoes (depends on the shoe  ::)) past the door openings as they're really small cars, not a "micro-car" but close.   :)  As small as they are though, Martin Lilley (owner of TVR in this time frame) who developed the "M"-series ("M" stood for Martin as it was his first all-new design after taking control) was taller than I am, and fitment for those of the taller stature was given consideration in the design as once in the vehicle the foot boxes are surprisingly deep in length, with pretty good pedal placement for long legged and big footed individuals.  Ya-know, for little car anyway.  :)

   On the topic of the block, I have a DIZE BOSS 302 block which I would probably use in I go that route as it seems more period correct, along with the G/W/E heads as those also were being marketed in the seventies.   8)

   Scott.

    Looky-there! another TVR guy!   8)  I guess these things are more popular than I thought with this crowd.   :-\

    B.T.W. do you have all of these vehicles parked in your garage(s) currently?
