I'm 200lbs and 6'3" and have size 12 shoes. I can fit easily into the Cat SV with "standard" shoes. My usual problem is leg room, and I have to pull the seat forward an inch or two to fit right. That has only happened before in a '70s Caddie and an '80s Porsche. Good luck in your search.

I wish Atlanta wasn't a five hour drive for me. But I notice that the Movie is broadcast over the radio--my Caterham does NOT have this modern option. Do most LSIS have a radio, or is the evening to discuss cars?? Taber

It was years ago that I first sat in a "Classic" and had to get back out--weather equipment installed--and take off my shoes. I wasn't wearing "welt-less" driving shoes at the time. Now, at 200lbs, still 6'3" and still size 12 shoes, I have an "SV" and couldn't be happier with it. Of course, I'm not trying to squeeze it between any cones, etc. Just some spirited, but legal, road driving. Good luck with getting either one.

Totally disregarding the above comment about Florida drivers, what part of FL are we talking? I have a Caterham 7SV in the "lower Alabama" region of FL just north of Ft Walton Beach. I don't post too often, again, I am part of the "BCC" generation--before computers and cellulars. Taber

If you figured the cost, per pound, of a new run-of-the mill Caterham, it's in Ferrari territory. I've wanted a Caterham since about 1979, and feel great that I could afford my 2007 SV last year. But if you look at the price of an '80s Ferrari 308GTS, you could be a Ferrari driver for much cheaper.

Apologies toSlngsht, but as Ian7 and Al indicate, the topics are inseperable. Regardless of your approach, and mine lasted from my first test drive in 1978 until ordering in 2007, I advise talking to Ben and Nate at RMSC first. The face-to-face knowledge is irreplaceable, in what was also one of my largest cash purchases. Even if you don't go with them--and cost would be the driver--the knowledge gained is worth the trip to Denver. I realize how fortunate I was to have the ability to order a Caterham. I wish I had picked up the used one in the UK in the late '70s, but I've finally overcome my mistake. Taber10
