I assume that you want one for racing purposes? The MGA coupe has a fair bit 
of headroom once you are in, and the seat can be lowered another little bit 
as well.

In fact many coupes will accomodate drivers of fair height if mods are done 
to the seat mounting to lower and move it back for more reclined position.

The addition of a helmet to a 2 metre driver can add to the problem, though.
