Legroom in R129
Hi folks, I am 6’7” and wondering if I will fit in a R129. Would love a convertible and have always liked the look of this car.

No! If however you like your knees and chest near the steering wheel like a NASCAR driver then it could work!
While the seat has good travel and the seat back can lay back both can't happen at the same time. I have tall leggy friends who have used my fleet in parades and rallies and have not enjoyed the experience. Bentley and BMW have better room for the tall.
I can add additional insight about large but not tall, It can be a good fit! Long leg, long torso not working in the R129.

Aw man, I thought the title said Legoroom.
But while I'm here: when ever I see really tall folks, I always make it point to go stand near them just to feel short haha.
GL to you,
