Thanks so much, will DM you now !

@CBuff- I am NYC (Manhattan) too! Thank you so much for the offer. I will be putting down my name and deposit soon so I can lock my allocation in for Q2 / Q3 2024, and that also would give me time to try out the chassis sizes before making a final decision on spec, including your SV with leather seats once it finally arrives in the spring! Out of curiosity, are you planning to also park your car in NYC once you get it? If so, then where? Like a public parking garage? FYI I did re-confirm with Josh; the half hood is indeed NOT included with the full weather package

Here is a screenshot of the build I am thinking about

@slowdudethank you so much for the offer, I am in Manhattan so close by to you! Would love to pass by and try your car's chassis on the engine rebuilt is complete. Which one do you have?

Hello everyone! My name is Rachit and I’m hoping to be a Caterham owner in the next 12 months, specifically the 420. I’ve had the opportunity to drive a Caterham once more than 10 years ago, and promised myself that one day I will buy one, and am super glad that time is coming up soon! For context, I’m based in the NY / NJ area, and plan to use my Caterham largely for back-road bursts and touring, with very limited track day use (3-4 times a year). Although I’ve made most of my specs decision, the critical one I am still confused about is the chassis. I am 5”9 (175 cm), 165 pounds, 31 inch inseam and 33 inch trouser waists, and my wife is 5”2 and petite. I’m not sure whether I should go for: A) S3 B) S3 with lowered floors C) SV Are there any Caterham owners in the NY / NJ who might be generous with their time and allow me take a look at their cars and try out their chassis (seated down, no driving), and talk about their car in general? I’ve been engaging with Josh from Rocky Mountains, and while I understand the differences in chassis sizing on paper, it’s just really difficult for me to commit to an order without having tried one on (almost like buying a pair of sneakers). Would really appreciate any help here! FWIW, Josh’s advice to me is to go with Option B) Also, summarising here the other major specs beyond chassis I am going for: R package Dark orange with black triple stripes, lettering, and roll bars 13 inch ZZS wheels Padded, heated carbon seats - my understanding is that these are ‘narrower’ and offer a tighter fit; so a little confused between these and the leather seats. For instance, would an S3 chassis with leather seats be more comfortable? Any thoughts? Sport suspension - initially wanted the track suspension upgrade, but understand these are quite a bit firmer for predominately road / touring use. Any thoughts? Front carbon wings LED lights with clear lens Full weather protection package (which I believe also includes the half hood) Track half cage option 620 carbon interior setup with leather transmission pannel and side arm rests Thanks in advance!
