Here we have a nice example of the very desirable Caterham Super Seven, which goes as well as it looks and is a factory-built example registered on HPi and the V5 as a Caterham Super Seven. The Seven is finished in the best colours of green with yellow stripes (very Lotus), and comes with all the bits you would want in this minimalist car including Avon semi-slick tyres, roll cage, isolator switch, small race screens, Momo steering wheel, full harnesses and the factory tonneau covers. There is some paperwork from DC Mapping UK within the history which shows it on the dyno producing 217. 6 BHP at 7242 RPM - very impressive when you think of the weight and size!
Offered with a Manx registration document, where it is currently registered as ‘EMN 78’, it was originally registered in the UK on ‘N127EFC’ and would probably be reassigned that number again when re-registered. It was originally registered on 4/ 8/ 1995 and went to the Isle of Man on 23/ 5/ 2003.
We are grateful to the vendor for the following information:
“Incredible Caterham 7 with 218BHP.
Commissioned by its late owner this very special car was built from new with no expense spared by the Caterham factory in Kennet Road, Dartford.
As part of a very special private collection this one owner Caterham is showing only 5k miles from new and has just had a comprehensive, no-expense-spared full service by factory-trained technicians at Caterham’s main dealer, Oakmere.
Also been fitted with new sports tyres all round by Demon Tweeks, this really does want for nothing.
With power of 218BHP and torque 238NM this exceptional Caterham is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face with very deliverable pure driving pleasure on road and track.
As seen in the images currently fitted with sporting screens but will also be supplied with a full original factory windscreen.”
This is certainly one example that needs to be seen!
