6' 6" tall and wants to buy a SL350
 

Hi,

I'm 6' 6" tall but with a 36" inside leg in reasonable torso / leg proportion.

Yesterday I sat in a new SL350, the first time ever, to see if I would fit okay. I'm currently in Scotland and the salesman and I didn't take our time since the car was outside and it was -3C.

I could fit into the car okay but my head touched the panoramic netting on the roof and that was with the seat as far down as it would go. I might have been able to adjust the seat rake, if not so damn cold, but it did seem very neat inside the cabin.

I drive a 1997 Porsche 993 Carrera S and have no problem with length or height although I did have the front seats lowered and moved back.

Does anyone know if it's possible, or has anyone actually lowered and moved the driver and passenger seat back in a Mercedes SL.

I now live in Greece and would love a 2008 / 2009 SL 350 but only if I don't look like Jaws in that old Bond film ie my head is above the top of the windscreen when the roof is down.

Cheers,

Jon
