To buy or not?

natdawson · Jan 24, 2015

So I'm currently looking at getting a Landy of some kind as a daily driver and family car. Being annoyingly tall at 6'7" and having a stupidly long body I struggle to fit most things.

Whilst my first thought is for a Discovery 1 or 2 a P38 is another option, possibly.

Any idea if I would fit in a P38 or is that yet another vehicle to add to the list of nope?

Just a RR Classic should be ok for what you want..

I, 6'3" and fit comfortable in the P38... Get leccy seats mind as they will have better height adjustment than manual I have found!

I do have about 2" of head space on my current manual seats, t'was better in the leccys from memory!

Disco might give you a bit more....you'll have to ask the Disco Divas about that

I fitted a Saab seat in my first classic RR on a set of runners I fabricated to give extra legroom, although I'm only 6'3 I'm more legs than owt else.

Point being you can make alterations.

When you have the desired legroom, you should be able to sit back and place your wrists on the steering wheel to be in full control.

Leg room isn't such an issue, also I need to be able to fit my eldest behind me who at 7 1/2 is just over 4'6" already.

Sorry just read op again - long body

Opposite freak of nature to me

Yep, superb if you ever want any back problems, unfortunately I think my eldest minion will be much the same.

I'm working on a pelvic hinge. Pat pending

Obviously there are plenty of p38 lovers on here and plenty if p38 sob stories to read up on. A classic LSE would suit you. Not cheap though and gaining value + less of the breaky bits

I'm 6'3 with long legs and a fat arse. I fit in it quite well without issue. Same with the Saab 9-5
