2017 Caterham Seven

Vehicle Features:

In 1973 Lotus decided to shed its kit car image and sold the rights to the ‘7’ to its only remaining agents in England, Caterham Cars. Initially they used the remaining Lotus S4 kits but by 1974 these had been exhausted and they reverted to their own version of the S3. The S3’s, in a number of guises, were quickly acknowledged as a truly outstanding car for both fast road/track use and today attract a loyal following, have their own competitive race series and an extremely active club. We are delighted to offer the opportunity to purchase one of the 60 Limited Edition Caterham Seven Sprint cars manufactured to celebrate 60 years of the Lotus 7 in 2017. The cars were launched at the Goodwood Revival in September 2016 and all 60 were sold out in 7 days. This is car number 6 of 30 right had drives produced. Caterham ensured that these Sprints captured the spirit of the early originals with powdered-coated grey chassis (like the Series 2), skinny wheels with chrome hub caps and suspension/rollover bar taken straight out of Colin Chapman's original sketchbook. Bodywork features original ‘clamshell’ flared front arches and is fully painted in period Camberwick Green. The red, hand stitched Muirhead Scottish leather interior is stunning with Smiths instruments, and a bespoke Moto-Lita steering wheel with engraved centreboss complete the interior. The car has the optional "low floor" option making it easier to for taller drivers to get comfortable. It was also ordered with the optional weather gear and cockpit tonneau cover. Power comes from the peppy three-cylinder Turbo Suzuki engine producing 85bhp coupled to a five-speed short-shift gearbox – it makes fabulous noises and delivers an utterly engaging driving experience. Low emissions mean road tax is just €200. The Sprint comes with a great history file confirming annual servicing regardless of the ultra low mileage, and there are a variety of invoices. old MOT’s, leather key pouch/fobs, original literature etc. This really is an opportunity to own a slice of automotive art that that should prove resistant to depreciation while delivering an utterly intoxicating driving experience.
