Due to impending marriage and travel commitments I am selling my beloved 7. The car is a completely original and beautifully kept example of the original Caterham 7 Superlight, built in 1997 as car number 46.
The specification is as follows:
- 1.6 k-series (138bhp)
- Aluminium body
- Carbon fibre front wings, rear wings and nose cone
- Black pack
- Composite Tillet seats with 5 point harnesses
- Quick release Momo steering wheel
- Carbon dash with BRSB
- Windscreen and doors
- Heater
- Quick rack (7%) steering
- Wide track front suspension
- Big Brakes
- Caterham 6 speed gearbox
- Limited Slip Differential
- 13” wheels with Yoko A048 tyres
- Apollo oil tank (critical for track days)
- 4-2-1 Competition exhaust (sound tested at 97db so fine for most track days)
This is as close to a standard spec Superlight as you can get given that no 2 cars are ever really the same.
Also available, with price to be negotiated, are a JPE carbon fibre aero-screen and Caterham half doors with SPA mirrors. I want to sell these with the car if possible, but would consider splitting them if the new owner did not want to take them.
The car has covered just over 23,000 miles. It is MOT’d until September 2006 and is Tax’d until March 2006.
I have spent over £1,600 having the car fettled over the last 6 months at the 7 Workshop. Those of you who know Chris will know that he is incredibly thorough and has given the car a complete going over. This includes:
- New clutch
- Replacement CRB (a known problem on 6 speed 7’s)
- New steering rack
- Heat shielding the starter motor (another common 7 problem)
- Full service (all fluids)
I have had the car for almost 2 years now and have been obsessive about the way I have treated it. I have really tried to use the car as much as I possibly could (covering 13,000 miles in 2 years), thus you will not find any of the niggling problems you often get with little used examples. I have cleaned and polished it as much as my girlfriend would allow, which is not as much as I would have liked. This really is an incredibly honest and very well cared for example of one of the greatest 7’s around.
£14,999
