Caterham 420R Nürburgring Edition SV

This is car number 73 of 100 Caterham Seven Nürburgring Editions, built to mark a century since the circuit opened in 1927. It is the first UK-delivered example, and the plaque number matches the 73 corners the Nordschleife is usually credited with. It is a new car with 10 miles on the odometer.

The 420R pairs a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre Ford Duratec with a lightweight flywheel and a five-speed manual gearbox. Output is 210 bhp, which Caterham quotes as 375 bhp per tonne, with 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 136 mph. A limited-slip differential is fitted. The edition's main distinction is its bespoke Bilstein dampers, developed for this model.

The spec is the larger SV chassis in Gunmetal Grey, with Basalt Grey paintwork, a red track-day roll bar, a 620-style nosecone with carbon dive planes, carbon front wings and the Black Pack. Inside are leather seats with Nürburgring embroidery and red stitching, carbon panels, four-point harnesses and engraved details. Brakes are upgraded to ventilated discs with four-piston calipers.
