I am hopefully going to see this, sometime this week, as much as anything for a look around it and fitting!:

It would be my first Caterham but I have been out in a few so as much as anything I think I need to find the right combination to suit me, as different body styles/seating/etc all seem to make the driver experience very different.

I am 6' tall and quite broad and research suggests that lowered floors might be preferred, although the I assume with the Tillet seats you will sit a little lower?! Is the SV much wider?

Really my question is, what should I be looking out for, besides the usual vehicle checks?

Thanks for the replies, I have kept an eye out for a while and that car must have been for sale for the best part of 2014, but I agree the price is quite strong but maybe the viewing will shed some light on it.

Well I had a look at the car last week. Does look to be very tidy, a few stone chips here and there but straight and very clean and should be as I still think it is top money.

Anyway, its just too narrow for me! I had been told the Tillet seats are 'snug' but a little too tight for my frame! I think I need to try a standard seat and the SV now to see how they feel!
