I'm assuming you are speaking from the driver's point of view.

I'm 6' 1" (32" inseam) and as the driver I find I have more legroom than I
need with the seat all the way back on the slide in my '74 Spitfire - for my
left leg that is. It barely reaches the firewall.

I tend to get horrible leg cramps in the right leg for several recent years
now after an hour or two of country roads (I've owned the car for 30+ years
so this must be an age related problem).

I would guess a hand throttle would help but there's still no-where to put
my right foot or stretch the right leg. Perhaps modify the gas pedal
position?

I don't see how tilting the seat will increase legroom as some have
suggested.
