Default Classic Jags for the Taller Gentleman

G'day all,

After trawling through the interwebs and this forum for a while, I couldn't find much info on the driver's room of the classic Jags.

Being in the market for a classic jag (prefer a mark V, but open to others) and being 6'3" I often find I'm too tall for a lot of older cars, but living in Rural Western Australia also doesn't help my ability to 'go and look at one'.

I'm aware the Mark X and 920G are purported to be huge cars, but not much is mentioned about the driver's stature or legroom.

Is anyone able to assist me?

Thanks in advance.

Actually, the Jaguar MK1 has more room than most other cars for the excessively vertically challenged i.e. well over 6 ft person.
An acquaintance of mine who is 6 ft 6 in has two Mk1s and reckons they are one of very few older cars in which he can comfortably fit.
