Description
Specialist in sports and collectible vehicles in Lyon offers for sale a 2022 Caterham Super Seven:
We are pleased to present this 2022 Caterham Super Seven 1600, configured by its sole and unique owner with the wide SV chassis and low floor, a particularly sought-after combination that markedly improves the driving position and onboard comfort, while preserving the pure sensations inherent to the brand.
With only 11, 700 KM, showcased in its superb Racing Green colour, this Caterham perfectly embodies the spirit of the British roadster. At the front, its iconic nose is accentuated by a yellow-painted noseband, elegantly contrasting with the bodywork and incorporating the grille of the number “7”.
Longer arches, round headlights, and 14-inch wheels in Custom Gold finish immediately reinforce its neo-retro character. The narrow tyres with Caterham-centre caps, the chromed elements subtly distributed over the bodywork, and the spare wheel mounted at the rear contribute to this unique visual signature.
At the rear, the rectangular tri-colour lights, the brake light positioned above the spare wheel, and the chrome “Caterham” monograms on the left and “Super Seven 1600” on the right complete the look. The side-exit exhaust, positioned on the right-hand side of the vehicle, underscores the sporting character of this Super Seven.
Finally, a USB-C charging port on the driver’s side allows easy charging of a mobile phone, a discreet but practical detail when using the vehicle.
Pure roadster by definition, it comes with a wealth of options including its hood bag, allowing the hood to be stored and preserving the purity of its lines when driving with the roof down. The Lotus Seven badge on the bonnet pays homage to the heritage from which it comes, continuing a tradition faithful to its DNA.
Inside, the ambience is understated, sporty and focused on the essentials. The black leather cockpit hosts Caterham-badged seats, accompanied by black rubber floor mats, perfectly suited to the car’s functional ethos. The driver sits behind a Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel, a true centerpiece that enhances the classic atmosphere. In front of him are the two primary gauges, complemented by essential dials such as oil pressure and coolant temperature. The dashboard features aviation-style controls, with push-buttons and toggle switches for the various functions such as lights, wipers or wash/ wiper.
A 12V socket and a USB-C charging cable are integrated into the dashboard, alongside a Bluetooth audio system installed on the passenger side, with Pioneer speakers discreetly mounted at the rear. The gear lever with a chromed knob controls a precise five-speed manual gearbox, perfectly suited to the car’s character.
Under the aluminium bonnet sits the 1. 6-litre Ford Sigma naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine, developing 135 horsepower. Modern in design thanks to its injection, it remains faithful to the mechanical spirit of the early Sevens. Its four-throttle intake manifold, equipped with injectors and double visible air filters, visually evokes the old carburettors while benefitting from the precision and reliability of contemporary engineering.
This configuration gives the engine a very mechanical aspect, perfectly in step with the car’s DNA, but also a characterful exhaust note reminiscent of British sports cars of the 1960s.
Combined with the Seven’s featherweight, the wide SV chassis and the low floor, this engine delivers direct, lively, unfiltered driving sensations in the pure Caterham tradition, the original spirit conceived by Colin Chapman.
