About this car

The 420R sits near the top of Caterham's Seven range, pairing the naturally aspirated 2.0-litre Duratec with a light S3 chassis. This example is claimed to reach 60mph in 3.5 seconds, with 220 bhp driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential.

It has been modified with Jenvey throttle bodies, a carbon airbox and a lightened flywheel, all aimed at sharper throttle response. It is finished in Firecracker Yellow with a red Superlight decal kit, black pack and a trackday roll bar.

Chassis equipment includes adjustable Bilstein suspension, a De Dion rear axle, an adjustable rear anti-roll bar and quad-piston front calipers. It rides on black and diamond-cut Apollo alloys with Toyo R888R tyres. The car has covered 19,700 miles and has had one owner.
