Yes the pedal configuration is traditional but the left hand shift is the kicker. Takes a little getting used to but certainly should not be a deal breaker. Nothing like a quick shift for 3rd gear that mistakenly drops into 1st. c

I would set a realistic budget for the car you want and be prepared to have it shipped to you. Finding a good Seven in any one locale is a long shot. I owned one for ten years and had it shipped across the entire country. Sold it last year and I am experiencing Seller remorse in a big way. As for your mention of fixing the car as opposed to driving........ that is part of Seven ownership. If you drive the car at all, constant repair and maintenence is to be expected,,,,,,, that being said they a fairly easy to work on. Good luck, C

I have a 1997 Sprint, Crossflow, 4-speed, live-axle, RHD, 12,000 miles that I plan to post on the forum shortly. It is a very nice basic traditional Caterham. I am in Northwestern PA. I am looking for twice what you state you want to spend. If you have an interest let me know and I will email photos. CLH
