Hello Landy Zone!
This is my first post. I am a highly hopeful future Land Rover Series IIA 109 owner.

I’ve even found one for sale. Trouble is, it is halfway across the country from me. Also, I have never even sat in, let alone drive, a Series Land Rover. On top of that, I am 6’-7” tall and fear that I will never fit behind the wheel.

Is there anyone here in the Phoenix area that would be kind enough to let me sit behind the wheel of their Series? Being an empiricist, direct experience is vital for me.

Many greetings from the Sonoran desert

Sorry!
I just realized this is a UK forum.
Apologies for my oversight.

I’m 6’6 and happily drive my 109. But I am a beanpole. Brick sh1thouses might struggle more

You're still welcome! So long as we get pics of your landy!!
I think you need to sit in it, or at least another long wheel base, to see how you get on with the position and space

Thanks @TS2304 ! ! !

I’m 220 lbs., bit of a belly.
Do you have to crouch to see through the windscreen?
