STK 3922 1997 Caterham Seven
The Caterham Seven is a classic lightweight sports car known for its simple design and exceptional handling. Building on the legacy of the Series 3 Lotus Super Seven, the Caterham emphasizes an exhilarating driving experience with a focus on performance and agility. The Caterham is NC street-legal and has a clear North Carolina title. The kit design of the Caterham Seven is characterized by an open cockpit, simple lines, and exposed mechanical components. This 2-owner 1997 Caterham Seven 'Super Sprint' has been well preserved and has received significant performance upgrades. The owner has provided extensive documentation with the car including the original build manual. He states that the car has been on the track for timed laps, but never actually raced in competition - very rare for an early Caterham Seven. The polished aluminum body is paired with black-finished nose/fenders and Panasport 13”x7” wheels mount Avon treaded ACB10 tires. The roadster is fitted with a rear spare and original factory height roll bar. (A taller triangulated roll bar is also included.) The car's basic interior focuses on functionality, featuring a straight forward dashboard w/full gauge package and lightweight bucket seats that are nicely upholstered in black vinyl. Both driver and passenger seats are fitted with 5-point Simpson Racing harnesses and the Caterham is also equipped with side-curtains and a manual convertible top.
The Super Seven is now powered by a Ford 2.0L Z-Tec engine that was installed in 2002. This motor is a DOHC, 16-valve aluminum design and is equipped with fuel injection and a tube header left-side exhaust w/Flowmaster muffler. It is backed by a Quaife 5-speed HD manual gearbox and Quaife limited slip differential with 3.92:1 gears fitted in a solid axle housing. The Caterham features a lightweight tubular chassis that was originally designed for the Lotus Super Seven. Competition springs and adjustable coil-over shocks are used front/rear and braking is provided by front disc/rear drum system. The owner has included additional parts, a set of extra wheels, manuals and records/notes. Overall, the Caterham Seven Super Sprint stands out as a symbol of pure driving pleasure, marrying classic British motoring heritage with modern engineering. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
