I've saw this car several times while it was under construction. It really is a cost no object vision of one person's dream 7.

Yeah, makes we wish I spec'd a sadev box from new...

I truly love my old Quaife sequential and I dread the limited time span of these transmissions. I likely would switch to my backup 5 speed and not have the same experience from that point on.

I haven't driven the sadev myself, but people I trust say it really only makes sense if you're a track rat. If you use the car only on the street, as I do, "they" say the standard transmission makes more sense.

Depends what you're into.

 

If you're into commuting, any sequential will make it a difficult experience to enjoy.

 

However if you're out for driving the 7 for all the fanfare and drama that it provides, the sequential action and the noise it provides helps make it a full theater type experience on all your senses and all the drama that comes with it. I never use the clutchless benefit, even on the track due to the fear of shortening its lifespan further.

I have the Caterham 6 speed on my yellow car and the Sadev with paddle shifter in the Orange one.  With the dual plate clutch I don’t think there is anyway I could drive it on the street. It just likes to go fast. Shifting at mild or low throttle is brutal.  But flat out with foot to the floor it’s like butter.  The six speed is good on the street and track. You just have to heel/toe on the downshifts.   The Sadev is just a slight lift and you can go down several gears effortlessly.

I never use the clutch other than to get it rolling in first. With the paddle shifters it’s so smooth even flat to the floor on the throttle.  Same with downshifts. Just lift and it’s really smooth. I sent the gearbox to Sadev when I replaced the clutch a year or so ago. When I asked what gear oil they recommended they said. “ whatever you were using as there was almost no wear.
