About this car

This 1996 Caterham SuperSprint is a lightweight Seven in its classic form: a 1690cc Ford Crossflow engine with twin 40DCOE carburettors, producing 135bhp and driving the rear wheels through a five-speed Ford Type 9 manual gearbox. Caterham's figures are 0-62mph in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 117mph.

It has covered 26,255 miles and is described as in original condition, with an extensive history file. The dealer re-commissioned it and says it has done very few miles since. It was first registered in June 1996, so it reaches 30 years old in June 2026, which opens up easier export.

Specification includes a live rear axle, double wishbone front suspension, front discs with rear drums, Minilite alloys with a spare on the rear, cloth seats with driver and passenger harnesses, a heated screen, full weather equipment and a taller roll bar with a diagonal brace. Clamshell front wings are fitted.
