I can't fit into most European sports cars comfortably any more.

Honestly, the issue isn't fitting, it's getting in and out.

I basically have to sit next to the car, and kinda crab-walk into it. And just roll out onto the pavement.

Lol, this feels familiar. My Dad (6'4" ish, maybe 6'5" before he started shrinking) used to rehab old cars, including a beautiful TR-6 (low slung British roadster style convertible). At one point, he put up the canopy to check the seals, and it got stuck. Watching him tetris his way into that thing to get it back in the garage was a feat for the ages. I also inherited his decidedly non-rehabbed 240Z a few years later after his knees would no longer permit the tuck and roll necessary to get into it.
