The Caterham Classic distils the Lotus Seven formula into a lightweight, no-nonsense sports car built for the sheer joy of driving, with endless charisma at its core and blistering performance. With its 1,600cc inline-four and five-speed manual gearbox, it offers a visceral, wind-in-the-hair experience that has made for a perennial favourite.

This example has been in the hands of its current keeper for approximately 18 years, having been purchased from a family friend in 2008. To the best of the vendor's knowledge - having purchased it from a friend - it has never been modified or used on track, and the engine is believed to remain in factory-standard specification, having been used solely for social driving and regularly maintained by independent garages with Caterham expertise. The vendor describes it as tremendous fun to drive.
