[franciscollie]

Hi,
I am 6'6 and looking into buying one of these beauties. will I able to cram my body into one of these and not end up with severe back and neck problems. Also what is like to drive it on long journeys? i.e will it go at any sort of speed and how noisy is it?
thanks,
Francis

You'll fit ok. Whether you'll be comfortable is a very different kettle of fish ;-)

126 are not really a 'long distance' cruiser, but as with any classic, it'll cope with a big journey if you respect the car and keep the speeds down...

I find the 126 comfortable, and I drove it for 7 hours!
It's noisy, but you get used to the sound I think... that is until you get to the silent hotel room, try to sleep and realise you can still hear the engine in your ears.

I intend to go to Retro Rides this year, which is in Worcestershire. I live in Orkney. Will let you know how that goes

Still thinking about going, anyone know if weekend tickets still available?

Unfortunately the weekend tickets sold out 10 days after they were released, the only way to get tickets is on the [ Retro Rides Forum ] and put your name on the list
