Maccor Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hello, I am a new member in central Kentucky. I just sold my 1971 Porsche targa and am considering a Lotus Seven or Caterham to replace it. As I am about 6'2", I am leaning toward a Caterham. Is there someone in Kentucky that might be willing to show me their seven? Thank you, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee break Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 If you are not too far from Nashville, there is one on display at the Lane Motor Museum. http://www.lanemotormuseum.org/?gclid=CLaAnJGA-8kCFc9gfgodZSIFOQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemtd Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Tom Have you tried posting on the Locost forum? They have several builders and cars in your area and are all around good guys who would probably be happy to show you a variety of cars. I think there are several Birkin drivers taller than you who are nicely accommodated by the adjustable pedal box. I also expect a Storker can will nicely fit drivers with long legs. There are several members here in the mid-west - I'll let them reply in their own time. If you can make the drive, Crock & Tom's annual NJ track day traditionally has the biggest and best selection of sevens several years running. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxhouse97 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi all - I'm another in the OH/KY area (Cincinnati) looking for a friend at a 7. He has never seen one in the flesh. Are there any track days that are frequented by owners at either Putnam or Mid-Ohio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Max, my track-only Caterham and I visit Putnam a few times a year, typically with 10-10ths, and I hope to get to Mid-O at least once. No passenger seat and not street legal so it would mostly be a audio-visual experience. If a visit to Cincy were planned, I'd be happy to let a prospective se7en owner take it for a short solo spin around my secluded neighborhood streets. Or if you see me at Putnam, a spin down the track entrance road and back should be feasible, ditto Mid-O. Be prepared tho, for total sensory overload:)!

wemtd Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Be prepared tho, for total sensory overload:)! After a ride in KitCat's car also be prepared to open your wallet. There will be no going back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
