Colin,
That's interesting. I struggled with visibility in my old two seater, not so much straight ahead but the problem arose with the hood up and my eye line was above the solid part of the side screens. Things are better with the easy up hood on the newer car but I had not realised that this was different in height to the old four seater screen. I guess my solution would be an older two seat car with a four seater screen which was an option I believe.

Could be Bob, at 6' 2" I also dropped the seat by removing the wood runners, required some modification on the 2 seater and a lot of modification on the 08 4 seater, I had to cut the plastic front spring shackle cover a lot but the leather simply recovered it so a fiddle but not a big job. I think I had the same problem, when I was at the stage of ordering a new car in 02 I came across a pre built but unregistered +8, I had the screen swapped for a 4 seater and a Simmonds hood as part of the deal, made a big difference. When I got the 08 car (I have a different one now of the same age) I was concerned that the top of the screen being a little lower would be an issue but luckily its just (and only just) above my eye line but I do know of what you type. I have my seat angled far back so that drops my head height a little but on long hood down runs I often sit a little more upright to help my back. When I bought my first Morgan a wise and knowledgeable owner said you will chase the odd inch here and there and then you will go after the half inches.....he was right!
