Maybe you should just move the seat track forward?
No, I have never driven a Big Healey. But from the look of 'em, with the
cockpit so far back in the chassis, I would expect plenty of leg room.
And I didn't mean to say the B had the most leg room of any car in the
world -- just more than most, insofar as seatback-to-pedal horizontal
distance. Anyway, I'm 6'1", with long legs, but it seems to me you could
fit 3-4 more inches of leg in the B no problem, just by moving the seat
all the way back.
Now vertical space, seat cushion to wheel rim, that's another story. I
don't have any problem, but I have seen lots of zero-clearance thighs...
