John I recall an assistant city editor at the LA Times who was easily 6' and drove a red RHD TC to work every day. (I was a news clerk). This was mid 60's and he was the original owner. I have enough trouble jamming my 5-10 frame into my Morgan, I have no idea how he did it.
You're right about shoe size, too. I said (often) that I'd never own driving shoes or driving gloves and with the Morgan I need both. My 10EE feet barely fit with narrow driving shoes, which are woefully uncomfortable on arrival wherever we're going. Without he gloves, it's even more difficult to turn the steering wheel, especially on tight turns.

This depends a lot on how your body is formed ~ before my back troubles I was 6'1" tall and never had any problems fitting into tiny vehicles ~ I'm still 6' even and pretty much fit O.K. in spite of my fat gut .
My size 12 feet, on the other hand mean I must wear smaller shoes than I'd like .
I like to drive with the window open so over the years I've learned to like driving gloves .
However, they're very $pendy so instead I buy cheap cotton work gloves with friction dots on the palms and inner fingers or mesh work gloves with rubber coated touching surfaces, usually $1 and always nice as they breathe well tet keep the cold drafts off my hands .

Around here they thought it fun to slash canvas tops on cars.
I had the brandy new $1,500 German Haartz top graffittied on one of my old VW's in Berkley by some Mexican gang bangers a few rooms away once...
Then at the body shop they slashed the new top to break into the car in spite of it being unlocked and maps and loose wires hanging out of the radio hole in the dash board...
The body hop did mediocre work and installed a cheapo vinyl top and told me to go pound sand .
