Three registered keepers since French import in 2006

The Appeal
Few cars deliver a driving experience as raw and visceral as the Caterham Super Seven, and the Super Sprint is pure thrills at their finest - a torquey 1,700cc engine producing 135 bhp in a car weighing just 540 kg. It's a machine built with a singular purpose: to put the driver as close to the road as mechanically possible.
This French-registered 1996 example is ready and raring for road or track use. The vendor reports that the car starts immediately, idles correctly, shifts smoothly through its four-speed manual gearbox, and is free from oil leaks. The dark blue paintwork is described by the vendor as very attractive and glossy, and the black leather interior is reported to be very clean with only age-appropriate wear.
Showing 7,181 miles on the odometer and last serviced in August 2024, it comes with a contrôle technique to be retaken ahead of the sale. For those in search of an analogue driving experience at its most distilled, this Super Sprint is bound to tick all of the boxes.IMG_6386 Antoine Bery.jpeg4.17 MB
