Default Help for the taller drivers - coupe and headroom?

Hi guys, exciting times I have secured my donor car!
1999 2.8 (Double VANOS) with 47K miles on it. Great car, garaged for most of its life so hopefully happy days from here. (250 SWB or similar here we go) Picking up next week so when I do I will start my thread once I know what the car is going to be. Still finalising with Chris.

A question though for the taller timber out there. I am 6ft 2" and with the roof closed and the seat all the way back/down my head was rubbing slightly on the headlining. Not a major and was able to adjust a bit to make it not that noticeable. My concern is with the coupe, do you lose any head height with the roll cage/glass roof? Does the head get anywhere near the cage and may be limited/under aches and pain?
As I am in NZ and not able to sit in a car for trial, any advice is appreciated. I don't want to get caught out.
Anyone sat in kidges 275GTB? what is that like for headroom compared with your 250SWB's? (I will of course PM kidge for opinion!)

Cheers.
