Offered here is a well-sorted and highly capable Caterham Super 7 Sprint – a factory-built example, despite wearing a Q-plate. The vendor informs us that documentation accompanies the car confirming its original construction by Caterham Cars, making it a particularly appealing proposition for the enthusiast seeking an authentic and focused Seven experience.
Having been in the current ownership since 2008, this car has benefitted from a continual programme of mechanical care and thoughtful upgrades. Powered by a tuned 1700cc Ford Crossflow engine, breathing through twin Weber 40 DCOE carburettors and mated to a four-branch manifold, the engine features a Reynard dry sump system and has seen a full rebuild just 1,500 miles ago. Further mechanical enhancement includes the fitment of a new gearbox within the last 200 miles.
The specification extends to Gaz coilover suspension, wide-track front geometry, a Tillett seat (with the original also included), and a part-FIA roll cage with removable downtube – all making this a highly competent track day or fast road machine. A new lower floor has recently been installed, improving legroom and lowering the driving position for improved ergonomics.
Finished with Mini Lite-style alloy wheels and shod with competition tyres, the Caterham comes with full weather gear, a fitted heater (an optional extra when new), and a tailored car cover. The vendor informs us that the car is supplied with a fresh 12-month MOT, further underlining its road-ready credentials.
In summary:
- Factory-built Caterham with supporting documentation
- Tuned 1700cc X-Flow with dry sump and recent full rebuild
- New gearbox, upgraded suspension, and wide-track front end
- Ready for fast road or track use with MOT until June 2026
- Comes with weather gear and cover.
- This is a properly developed, road-legal Seven with strong provenance and mechanical investment – ideal for the next custodian looking for fun on road or track.
