I'm shrunk down to a tad over 5'10" yet most of my height in in a long torso and short legs. In a deluxe roadster of the 31 variety, when looking straight ahead I see the top of the windshield. I drove one from about 100 miles away to a home near mine and had a sore neck from slouching for about three days. I'd go back to the standard and be thankful the spare is on the rear. Love the standard 31, but own a 29 that is also okay, It does have the dual fender mount tires that I suppose some prior owner thought looked cool. They may look good and were a great addition when driving the old roads but now seem more of a restriction in entering and leaving the car with the top up. I know it is fine with the top down but seldom drive it that way, too hot or cold or the bride complains the wind is messing her hair up.
