I am interested in the Lotus 7 having admired the car for years. I've heard that the cockpit on the 7 was designed around Colin Chapman's stature and that the car might be difficult for me to drive.
I'm 6'-3" tall and weigh 205 pounds. My question is, would I be able to fit in and comfortably drive a Lotus 7 or a standard Caterham without too much trouble? I have a 1952 Jag XK120 and it is a tight fit for me to drive it.
I did visit Caterham in Denver on my last trip there and did get a chance to drive the SV model. I had no trouble fitting in it, but most of the ad's I see for used Se7ens are not the SV model.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.
Best regards,
Paul Mascuch
