I am just over 6' and my father is 6'2" and we both fit in Midgets
too...both the TR3 and the A seem to be bigger, but I have never sat in
either. I do fit in a spitfire tho. And a TR7, Miata, Fiat X1/9 and
Spider, and Honda del sol, all of which are pretty small. A friend is
about 6'4" and drives a Fiero... Good luck!
