2010 CATERHAM SUPER 7 is available now at classified from Car and Classic Classifieds

With a full 50 years of continuous production, the Caterham 7 is one of the most long-serving, enduring cars of all-time – even more so when you consider it can trace its roots back to the 1957 Lotus Seven. 

But then, the market for low cost sports cars and specials has always been lively, so the Caterham has been offered as either a kit or a fully completed car throughout that period. This one is a later model – a 2010 car with a 1.6-litre Ford Sigma engine, which has been with its current owner for five years, used annually for trips across France among other regular use. 

In 2020, the car was upgraded to ‘Supersport’ specification by specialists Sevens and Classics. Higher-lift camshafts with matched valve springs, a remapped ECU, new air box, mechanical cambelt tensioner and a lightweight flywheel were fitted to bring the car to 140bhp with a rev limit of 7,600rpm.
