Apologies if this has been done to death before (in which case please link to the thread), but I’m looking for a recommendation for a Caterham that I can fit in before visiting my local dealer. I’m 6’5”, 105kg and size 14 feet. Leg length 33/34”. Am I being unrealistic to think I can own a Caterham which I can track and road drive? I daily a 911 Turbo S (992) and FF Range Rover supercharged

I’m 6’4 and no racing snake….

I have an SV with lowered floor and it’s perfect ….

You need to sit in one and try it, and then arrange a demo .

Follow Turn7’s advice. I’m 6’ tall, 175lbs and decided to get an SV. My car has lowered floors.
Williams at Chipping Sodbury might have something suitable for you to hire before making any purchase decision.

6ft 6, 110kg, 36" jean leg, size 13's.

SV with lowered floor and tillet seat sat on the floor back as far as it'll go. Pedals pushed all the way back and a D type steering wheel. All good!

Great recommendation, thanks. Had a good visit to them yesterday and will be driving one with them soon
