My mate has 1999 Defender the same has mine but he has Mud Rails fitted and the rear bulk head removed and it makes a big difference, feels a lot bigger and more spacious than mine. He's a big lad (tall and broad) and has no problems driving it.
6ft 6 - Will i fit in a 90?

I'm 5'10" and I had to put a smaller steering wheel in so I'd think it's a must for taller people, I also have aftermarket seats fitted which make a big difference. The great thing with a Defender is if something isn't how you want it you can just change it.
At 18 I'd be more worried about insuring it!

I'm 6'4" (33" inside leg) and son 6'7" both fit ok in 300tdi 110. I find it a little cramped on RHS with door bit close but head and leg room fine. Could be different for you depending on leg / back length

I'm 6"4 with long legs and just fit into my Td5.
The only real problem was that I couldn't use the intermittent windscreen wipe as my knees stopped me from pushing the stalk down but it works fine after I very carefully bent the stalk up with a pair of molegrips.
Still wondering about a rails/bulkhead job tho.
