Hi,

wondering if somebody local to me could help. I have decided to go down the route of a caterham r500 for my weekend toy but I am concerned that I just won't fit in one. Before heading down south I wondered if anyone local "ish" could let me sit in a S3 chassis to see if I can actually fit. Would appreciate any help on this lads 👍

If you are a large gent like myself 49" chests? You may find the S3 a bit on the tight side. I had to go for an SV for the extra width. You will soon find out when you sit in one.

You are sounding a bit more SV sized. If you struggle with an S3, look for a SV car with lowered floors. The type of seat and position of pedal box, which in some cars is adjustable are also factors you need to take into account

If your thinking of R500 performance, also look at the CSR models wich shrare the SV wide body.
