Hi folks. Just joined the community..

I am based in Scotland…not easy to find a Barchetta to buy..or even look at! I am keen on buying, but am wondering if I am OK to fit in one. I am 6-4. \

Any views? Maybe my concern is misplaced.

Thanks

Chris

Hi, I only rececntly joined and have been impressed with the friendly and helpful approach to all queries. So a welcome from a newbie. You won't have a problem with the roof down and I don't think it will be a problem with it raised, but if you can find someone close who will let you try the seating out!
Hopefully someone who is also 6ft 4"will chime in.

6ft4" - hi shorty! I am 6ft5" and don't have a problem . I have covered massive distances in my B but do need a leg stretch after 3 hours of driving but then that applies to any type of car I am using. Go for it, if you get a decent one you will not regret it. Huge value for money and loads of fun.

Hi and welcome. Can't really help at 5'6"!

Welcome aboard!

Sorry, can't help re the height issue (short-*rsed Welshman here!)

Thanks everyone-and sorry for delay in replying, been away.

Sounds like I'll fit! Good news!

I am based in Edinburgh. Have been searching on the web for a low mileage model- it is clear there (a) are a scarce animal and (b) scarcer still north of the border!

I'm a real car novice- I take it there are local ( ie Scottish) garages good at servicing etc. I notice a lot of comments ( from English owners) re DTR sports cars.

The search continues...and ideas welcome!

Thanks

Chris

Drop Barch a PM . He's in Edinburgh. I'm between Berwick and Duns so only about an hour south of you! Steve

I see reference to numbers of keys and the "important red key": can someone explain the significance( or not) of the red key?
Thanks folks
Chris

Red key is only really necessary if you have to program keys into the ecu. If you have one blue/silver you can get it cloned as a spare.
Do use it as a bargaining point if the red is missing though
