The Appeal
Light, simple and with go-kart like handling and engagement, there really is nothing on four wheels quite like a good Caterham. This Super Seven was built in 1985 and is fitted with a 1.7L Ford engine built by Sherwood Engines in 2021 at a cost of £10,500. It has covered barely 2,000 miles since it was installed.
That motor is the starting point of what is a really nicely presented and clearly cherished Super Seven. It is classically painted in British Racing Green with bright polished aluminium exterior trim and a set of smart KN Jupiter alloys shod with quality Uniroyal tyres all round.
The car was originally UK-registered where t had just three keepers before arriving in France a few years ago. The last MOT test ran to September 2023 with no advisories. The car comes with useful French registration documents and FFVE certification.
