Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
The Caterham Seven is one of the purest drives available on the sports car market today.
Colin Chapman's manifesto of ‘Simplify, then add lightness’ has become a fitting tribute over the 58 years of the Seven's existence. That philosophy of a steel space frame, two seats and engine translated seamlessly into the racing world, and proved that you don’t need horsepower to get your thrills. While modern variants of the Caterham Seven have considerably more wack than those early Chapman cars, the exhilarating driving experience remains deep in the car's DNA. The Rover K-Series engines were introduced into the Caterham in 1996, and proved to be ideally suited to the Seven thanks to their lightness and constant development.
Coming to market after ~11 years with our vendor, this 2007 Caterham Seven is fitted with the 1.6-litre version of the K-Series and is finished in a smart Martini-inspired colourway and graphics, with a black leather interior, it has the Supersport upgrade and lowered floors too. It only reads ~11,489 miles on the clock and, as a result, is in excellent working order. It has a year's MOT and comes with its wet-weather gear.
This listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting Henrik the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
