About this car

The HPC was the most expensive Seven when Caterham launched it in 1986, and buyers had to pass a two-day High Performance Course before they could order one. Only 62 were built, making it one of the rarest road-going Sevens.

This 1990 car has the 1.7-litre Cosworth BDR engine, upgraded by Connaught in 2006 to produce 212bhp. It also has a dry sump, a limited-slip differential, a five-speed manual gearbox, a De Dion rear suspension and uprated brakes.

It is finished in Vintage Green with red doors, a red leather interior, a track day roll bar and four-point harnesses. It has covered 23,903 miles and sits on 14-inch Juniper alloys with Toyo R610 tyres.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Ambiguous: the factory 1990 HPC used the Vauxhall 2.0 16v engine, while the Cosworth BDR was a separate Ford-based engine option in 1.6 and 1.7 litre sizes. Without a single confirmed factory spec, the performance figures are left null.).

Engine position: Front-engined
