Our insurers specify that they will only cover drivers over 25yrs and under 70yrs. So while some will just have to wait, to the others I can only say sorry – it’s not our decision.

Exhilarating fun; it has been described as a cross between a go-kart and a motor-cycle. There is none of the insulation of the driver from the road that you find in a modern car. They are, however, very easy to drive, provided that you are accustomed to a clutch and manual gearbox. Male and female drivers across our permitted age range have had no problems and have all enjoyed the experience immensely.

Any vehicle is only as safe as its driver. While the Caterham 7 does not have some of the latest safety features such as ABS, electronic traction control, crumple zones and airbags, it does have unrivalled responsiveness and agility.

Caterham 7 s are small and the regular 7 has a very snug cockpit, however, we have opted for the SV version which has three inches more width and length. Getting in and out, especially with the hood up, does need a certain degree of agility. To date, we've had more than one 6'5" guy who've had to pull the seat forward a little. We did find a guy at 6'8" and had to admit that he was too big! If in doubt contact us.
