Do you have any advice on finding a classic car for a tall driver? I was looking at old XK120 jaguars, and was disappointed to find that at 6 foot 4 inches tall, that I would not be able to get my foot on the brake, so would not be able to drive it. I looked at a car that had the bulkhead cut away and a modern pedal box inserted, but this is expensive, and not really in the spirit of an original classic. The XK150 would be a little easier but still uncomfortable.

XK 120s, 140s and 150s are extremely uncomfortable at the best of time unless modified seats are fitted. You could look at an E-Type 2+2 in order to get the raised roof and therefore more headroom.
