Height and Weight of SL owners

[95benzman]

Hi All
Today I think I came across the tallest and heaviest SL owner on the planet. While stopping for breakfast at my local diner getting out of a 88-560SL was a big man. I pulled my E320 Sedan next to him. ..Two parking spaces away. This guy was at least 6'4" and had to weigh 250lbs. I sometimes feel cramped in my 85-380SL and I am only 6' and weigh 170lbs. SO SL guys and girls what is your height and weight?Can you top my guy?Thanks.Happy driving.

I'm 6'5" and, I can't believe this, am up to 240 pounds. Needless to say, my 560 is a tight fit. But with the top off, who cares?

Thanks for the imput. I can't wait for a nice day here on the East coast so that I can put the top down and feel free as a bird.
Happy driving.

6'2", 160 lbs I sometimes have a problem with my feet hitting the top of the footwell (I wear size 12-13 depending on the make of the shoe), but aside from that, no problems (though I do have the nardi steering wheel).

As I told my then girl-friend, now wife, I'm 5'11" to 6'2" depending on whether I stand up straight or not. She's barely 5' tall. My weight is 180lbs. And Joe, I'm with you, waiting for some sunny days to put the top down!! It has been a hateful spring so far.

I have a 1991 500SL and I'm 6'2" and 210lbs.

I'm 5'10"-5'11". At 180, there's more of me than there should be and I like the seat slid pretty far forward. Pain getting the fat gut by the wheel, but that's a small price to pay. I'm kinda long from hip joint up I guess. Have to put the seat in lowest postition. Wife (cars' driver) is about 5' 3'' and has no trouble at all. Her weight is the most closely guarded secret on the planet. I think they keep in in "the football" with the launch codes. I'm sure she weighs in a LOT less than me. She's a doll and a sweetheart and that's just two of the reasons I bought it for her.

I'm little compred to all you fellas..

In metric terms - the local currency:

height - 171cm
weight - 67 kg

in the units that don't much sense here:

h - 5'7" ish
w - 148 lb

Still fit quite happily into my SLC. Says something about the design really.

5'10"- 165 lbs- But working towards 160 in the next couple of weeks hopefully! Pants are getting too tight!

We've had some warm weather out here in California the last month, and it's been great getting out w/o the top. I think I drove the SL about 100 miles on Monday this week, it was awesome!

I'm 5'11 1/2 and 165 lbs.

Edited due to my last physical.

I should've been more specific. I meant more like the R107. The R129 seems more spacious, comfortable and refined.

I have problems with headroom with the hardtop on. It is a little claustrophobic.
