2024 Caterham Seven 420R SV

This Caterham Seven 420R SV dates from 2024 and has covered just 1,450 miles. It sits near the top of the current Seven range: the 420R pairs the Ford-derived 2.0-litre Duratec with a five-speed manual gearbox in a car weighing well under 600 kg, which is why it is regarded as one of the sharpest road-legal Sevens built.

It is built on the wider SV chassis, which gives taller drivers noticeably more cabin room than the narrower Sprint-sized frame without changing the basic character. Power goes to the rear wheels through a manual gearbox, with no driver aids to dilute the experience. At 1,450 miles from new, the car is barely run in.

The listing gives no information on owners, colour or specific options, so a prospective buyer should check the build sheet and service record. The asking price of £41,995 puts it between the dealer's other 420R examples, a 2,136-mile car at £35,000 and a 1,263-mile 420R S3 at £49,995.
