My husband is also 6'2", size 34L. Our '75 TR6 has a roll bar. He has a
little bit of trouble getting in & out of the car, but not enough to stop
him from driving it; especially in autocrosses. The seats are stock & have
not been modified (I'm 5'2"). When the finances come around, we will be
shopping for a smaller diameter steering wheel. That should be all we need
to give Al a little more leg room.
Cheers,
Wendy Hart
