About this car

The 420R sits near the top of Caterham's Seven range, pairing a dry-sumped 2.0-litre Ford Duratec making 210 bhp with a five-speed Mazda manual gearbox. The page quotes 0–62 mph in 3.9 seconds, which is quick for a car this light and this simple.

This one is a one-owner car with 10,262 miles, used only on the road. It is finished in orange with the black pack and carbon front wings, and the carbon extends to the dash, stone guards and door sills. Mechanical and chassis upgrades include a BMW differential with a Titan limited-slip unit, wide track, height-adjustable dampers, an FIA roll bar and staggered Apollo alloys on Avon ZZS tyres.

The differential was rebuilt in January 2026 by Road & Race Transmission, and the car has been maintained by Caterham and the selling dealer. Other equipment includes leather seats, lowered floors, a quick-release Momo wheel, harnesses, ACES SureShift shift lights, a heater and full weather equipment.
