I just sold my S1 a few months ago and I used to own a TR7. I'm about
6'0" and a size 13 foot and didn't have a problem in the Esprit. The
tightest fit was headroom - if I let my hair get too long it would do
the static cling thing to the headliner (probably because it was sagging
a tad also). Otherwise it's actually quite comfortable inside once you
actually get in. I felt it was a lot more comfortable and ergonomic
than the TR7. Lots of fun to drive, too, but plenty underpowered in the
early years, although it was faster than my TR7 by quite a bit. The
getting in and out is a lot tighter than the TR7.
Hope that helps. There are two early Esprits in the Lotus Club and I'm
sure one of them wouldn't mind letting you get in.
