I was in to Lotus cars for a while "back then", even got to take a chaperoned lap or two at Hethel.
My recollection is that Colin Chapman was not very tall (maybe 5' 8") and designed his cars for people his size (and girth).
I am 5' 11" and was 165lbs, while I did fit nicely into my Lotus Esprit, it was "comfortably snug" once inside with the seat all the way back.
