Hans, I'm 6' 1" and 235 pounds...
...and I find the interior to be very roomy! It does look small from the outside, but with the rear engine, it has lots of leg room and plenty of head room...at least for me. Also very comfortable on longish trips (furthest I've ever driven mine was four hours, non-stop).
So unless you're taller than me, you should have no problem! But then again, almost all of the cars I have ever owned have been pretty small, so maybe I'm just used to it!

Porsche 356 SC from 1964.
Here is a nice car I found on the net, already sold, by the way, but just for the pleasure of the eyes, and for the legendary greediness of some of our 1964 Fellows... A Porsche 356 from 1964. Now that I have the nose in Vintage cars, I understandf why I ...
I particularly like...
...that the car lacks its original over riders and has the added Carrera style skirt in the back. Just a little bit different than stock, but not too much. Although I'm not found of the Nardi wheel, even though it's period-correct. But that's just persona...
I'll post some photos...
...as soon as I have a chance to take some new ones, although I've said that before in different posts over the past year or so and I still haven't had the chance. Being retired is just too time consuming...I never have time for anything! Emil
Wow, que bonito!
Looks in fantastic condition. Love it. Thanks for sharing. vte :) ps: Volvo issue fixed?, hope so. Un abrazo.
He He...
Problems are in order to be solved... The servo brake arrived, I have to get it installed in the car... I also have to solve some electric issues, but minor issues. Will be able to finally register the car ( !!! ) at the end of this month. ;) All the best...
I saw one locally a few days ago, Nicolas . . .
. . . cream colored, with original black and orange California plates. Porsche rules!
Sadly, no camera available at that moment, Nico . . .
. . . and, incidentally, Maggie is in Cabo on vacation this week - she would not be happy to receive such a bad report on her holidays!
One of my all time favorite Porches...
... now when I could afford it, removed from the list due to I find it a bit small (not how I remembered it when I couldn't afford it...?) But beautiful car with a lot of charm Best Hans
I always loved it. And yes, at a certain time, many years ago...
I could afford one, but I tried to stay away from vintage cars, as I am too mad when I have a passion for something... Well, it is a fear which belongs to the Past. Now that I am living the P 1800... ;) Best, Nicolas.

6ft 3inches...
...and almost same weight class as you :-) Never driven one for longer than an hour, but somehow I felt the distance to the steering wheel and the pedals to short..? ...maybe I should give one more go :-) Best and thanks for your inspiration Hans
Those extra two inches...
...may make the fit a little too tight for comfort but I think that depends on how straight you like your seat back. With it just slightly reclined, head room should be no problem and it will also give your arms more room. But of course you need to be com...
Regardless - have a nice drive :-)
... And when we have settled in our new home I will one day also have my "play mobile" :-) Best Hans
