2015 Caterham Seven 360S
Just 5,750 miles from new

M.O.T. - April 2025
Odometer - 5,750
Presented in Caterham Racing Green with yellow ‘nose’ and racing stripe, this example of Caterham’s Seven 360S evokes comparisons with the original Lotus Seven, on which the Caterham is based. ‘WJ65 OZD’ is fitted with Ford’s 2.0-litre four-cylinder Duratec engine, matched to a five-speed manual gearbox, and fitted with an open differential. It comes with full wet-weather kit, quick release Momo steering wheel, aftermarket mirrors, and a dry sump conversion. In all, more than £6,000 has been spent on modifications and maintenance according to the current keeper.
The seller has had the Seven 360S in their possession for the past two years. Only the fourth keeper, they purchased the car through the Porsche network. It is currently owned by a former member of the Shell Motorsport Team, and has been well looked after throughout its near decade long existence. All areas of ‘WJ65 OZD’ are rated as being in ‘excellent’ condition by the vendor, including engine, transmission, electrics, interior, bodywork, and paintwork. Just 5,750 miles are showing on the odometer, a figure which is supported by the car’s MOT record. ‘WJ65 OZD’ will come with a 12-month MOT.
The Caterham Seven story starts in 1957, with the Colin Chapman-designed Lotus Seven, which was produced from 1957 until 1972. Once production was ended by Lotus, Caterham bought the rights to the design, and has continued to make both kits and fully-manufactured models since. Various modifications and editions have been launched in the past fifty years, with a wide-body offered for a little extra comfort in the cabin, as well as options for windscreens, roll-cages, and wheel covers. It remains the archetypal driver’s car, and is capable of encompassing a huge variety of engine sizes from various manufacturers. Often fitted with compact and high-revving motorcycle units, the Seven shape is also capable of taking many four-cylinder engines, from the likes of Ford, Vauxhall, and Rover. The current range sees an option of Seven 170, more powerful Seven 360, and then Superlight and retro-inspired Super 7 models.
- Low mileage example of Caterham’s Seven open-top sportscar.
- Reckoned in ‘excellent’ condition throughout by the vendor.
- Offered with full wet-weather kit and removable sports steering wheel.
