Can I ask you 560sl owners a question?
How do you feel about the knee roll below the steering wheel? My husband is 6'2", would he have knee room issues?
I'm 6'-2" as well, have no issues with the 560 SL knee roll. However, I do have a headroom problem with the top on, which wasn't there with my 1974 450SL. I believe the 560 seats are higher. Happily, headroom is unlimited with the top off, which is how it should be, imo.
