Comments from the seller

This wonderful Caterham 7 has given me lots of joy for 10 years, and now it’s your chance to enjoy this beautiful piece of car history. For me, this is an iconic car that I have loved to drive out on the open road with a big smile on my face :0) The car is in sound order, good condition, regularly serviced, always garaged and never driven in the rain. It has its original soft top and side panels too. New extractors and exhaust have been added that have been HPC coated. It comes with a roll bar which is fitted. It has windscreen wipers and a built-in washer bottle. The car has been recently serviced by a licenced mechanic. On the front dashboard there is an array of early Smiths gauges and toggle switches which look pin sharp and appealing to the eye. Electronic ignition has been fitted to the vehicle, and the headlights have been upgraded to LED. This beauty is now ready for its next owner to share in the joys of owning one of the great loves of my life. Please send me a quick text to contact me between 7 am and 4pm and I'll call you back shortly.
