How much bigger is an SV

Is there really a difference from the roadsport - have searched the Caterham website but can't find dimensions. If it is significant I might have to trade

Caterham states 4" wider, another 4" longer in the passenger compartment

Here is a thread from 2017 on the subject, a search of the archives shows other comparisons between a S3 (standard chassis) and a SV (wider, slightly longer chassis)

I have owned a regular 7 and now an SV which I am in the process of selling. When I got the SV I was concerned it may look big but it really doesn't, without a tape measure I don't know if someone could really tell the difference unless they were side by side. The extra space is well worthwhile in my opinion, whether taller or wide those couple of inces are very valuable - at least to me.

An SV doesn't look big.... until it's parked right next to a standard car. 😜
