Posted this in the main forum, but had no response, I'm hoping someone on here can help.

Been trying to get in touch with Caterham Gatwick since the middle of the month, don't reply to emails and won't answer their phones.

Does anyone know of another number to get hold of them on, or have they went out of business?

Doesn't sound very positive does it?

We're only to be in London for a few days, don't want to make the trip out to Gatwick without talking with them first.

I'll see if I can get them first thing tomorrow, otherwise we'll give it a miss.

Thank you, here goes.

The main question, will I fit?
6 foot 2, reasonably thin. Would a standard car be OK, or do I need the SV?

Never actually driven one, but if I liked it enough and could achieve a discount, may even buy this weekend.

Would also like to discuss new vs nearly new, and of course, if my wife likes the car. Although not sure she'd drive it anyway.

It's either a Caterham and something else, or something like a 996 Turbo to do it all.

Thank you for the advice.

Nice pic, makes the MX5 look surprisingly huge.

Went down to see them on Saturday, so just to give an update.

Found them to be very helpful, took me out in a 360r as a passenger, great car.

To be honest, as they had three 360Rs with similar spec and age I was hoping a deal could be done, but apparently not. No negotiation, sticker price or nothing.

Ralph was the name of the salesman, very friendly, as was the other guy in the showroom and the receptionist. Glad I went out there to have a look.

Did say about the negotiation on price. If you don't buy, somebody will when spring turns up.
Yes you did, but no harm in askingsmile
