Drivers were obviously shorter back in the fifties and sixties. My leafspring Kirkham has a pair of original sixties seat runners with accurate replica seats (Hawk), and footboxes and dash scrupulously correct for a COB6*** along with a 16" Motolita wheel. I'm comfortable in it but my mates generally have to peer over the top of the screen. I have a '67 Land Rover and a '68 Cooper S, both of which I fit fine but with no room to spare. My XK140 DHC is a rather snug fit.
There are some advantages to being 5'8" after all!
