6foot 1 here, and I can squeeze in with the original seats, even have one more adult in the back. Now the rubber ass mat under the seat has torn, I actually sit lower in the car than I like. If yer living in NSW, then it'll be much easier to find parts than up here in Townsville.

No offence to longtime mechanics, but when I had my Clubby in for its inspection, the guy who generally knows his stuff, told me that the rubber ball thing came out of the back wheel arch when he put it on the hoist. Muttered something about "hydrostatic" suspension, and gave me the certificate. If he knew mini's he woulda known that it was the rubber cone suspension spring which holds the entire weight of the car. Either he didnt know, or just didnt give a crap LOL. Only thing he pinged me for on the first inspection was a parking light that wasnt contacting properly.

im 6'1 aswell and have had no dramas getting in and out except when i was parked on a slope and the door swang back and whacked me in the shins, but after a bit of swearing and rubbing all was good again. I also sat quite low in my car because my seat was rooted underneath, it was really comfy BUT the bastard roadworthy inspector added it to my list of failure reasons so now i have to get rid of it. i might just keep it though and relpace it down the track
