I could also use a tank like that.
They don't come up very often, I think the last one on Ebay went for well over £ 100.
A look-alike would be easily made, particularly if it doesn't have to hold fuel.
Just because you have two different wheel sizes, you don't have to hold two spare wheels - not in "get you home" mode, anyway.
I'm sure there are all sorts of legalities, but .....
A couple of spare tubes and a set of tyre levers, a mallet,and a bit of practice is a lightweight answer.

Thinking about the original problem- I had to adapt my short chassis Cambridge to fit a lad so he could drive his bride to his wedding.
He was around 6'4, at least.
Changing the steering angle makes a big difference, there is suddenly space for the knees.
(Though maybe not for the knuckles!)
Seat goes back until it is against the step in the floor - which is a floor made by me, so the step is angled rather than vertical.
The offside third of the brake pedal is removed, so his size 11s could get on the accelerator.
And the bit of the seat that determines the height of your bottom from the floor is only 1" thick.
With all that, there is still space behind the seat for stuff.
And he could drive the car.
