Caterham Seven Superlight R500

The R500 is among the most focused Caterham Sevens of its era, pairing a 2.0-litre Ford Duratec with a light chassis and a sequential gearbox. This Superlight R500 is number 27 in the Duratec run and uses the Series 3 chassis, with 260 bhp driving the rear wheels through a six-speed Quaife sequential.

It is finished in Titanium Silver with a black triple stripe and the black pack, including carbon front and rear wings, nose cone and indicator pods. Mechanical specification includes a dry sump, limited-slip differential, de Dion rear suspension, adjustable ride height, vented front discs with four-piston calipers and Toyo R888R tyres on 13-inch anthracite wheels.

First registered in 2008, it has covered 13,461 miles and is described as having a great service history. Inside are Tillet composite seats, four-point harnesses, a Stack display, ACES change-up lights and a Momo quick-release wheel. Full weather equipment and a tonneau cover are included, and the dealer lists a fresh service and 12 months' MOT.
