Thanks Piers300, that's sound advice which I will take. (as is the advice from others which is being digested and taken onboard). Our ages are pretty similar, I'm just a few years younger, so welcome your comment about a standard chassis although I have to assume I'll have a passenger - that may turn out to be inaccurate but for the purposes of me obtaining 'approval' to get a Cat I have to talk about 'our' car and plan accordingly ;-).

Thanks. Yes, I had a response from the dealer re gearbox and diff (Titan), but I'd decided already not to pursue it. Going to be patient and wait for lockdown to end.

Thanks for the offer Stephen, I may well get back in touch once we are out of lockdown. I take your point about an S3 and suspect that would be a better fit for me, it's just that I have to take my other half in the equation! Heaven knows how you cope with those speed bumps down Berko High St by the way :-)

Cheers. Lots of help - I'm learning a lot!!

Excellent, thanks. It's all making sense.

Thanks, intending to take your advice.

Hi Andy. That's very kind of you and it would help to chat about things. I'm in Hemel so perhaps once the lock down is sorted I could pop over?

Thanks Stephen (and others who have commented) This is one in particular I'm looking at relatively seriously. Hence my questions regarding gearbox and diff. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1265591 Cheers, Alan

Hi JV Here's the ad. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1265591 Yes any comments would help please. I'm inclined to give them a call but appreciate lockdown will be restrictive. I'm in Hertfordshire. I've veered towards SV mainly cos I'm likely to carry a passenger who would appreciate a little extra space, plus the drivers footwell space (although only size 9 shoes). I appreciate that once we sit in a car many of my questions and apprehensions will fade. Cheers

So, my first post! I'm looking for some help and advice please. I've decided a Caterham is No 1 priority on my bucket list, although as to yet I haven't sat in one, let alone turned a wheel. I know I need/want an SV (girth rather than height, 14st/5f 6in) and am tempted by a new 270 or 310. But the wait will be agonising (Sept 2021 and that's if I order now, 'blind' without a try, which I wouldn't do). So, I've seen a 2014/15 SuperSeven Supersport for sale, good nick and apparent low mileage etc. My question is about the reliability of the LSD and 'sprint' gearbox, and any drawbacks with the sprint gearbox (ratios etc) given I'll use it almost exclusively for road use. Any advice greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
