Caterham announced a limited edition styling and equipment package for the Seven range, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the iconic sports car. The package is free, for the first 40 Seven orders taken from today and it can be fitted to any variant of the car in the range.
Caterham Seven range is priced from £19,995 to the top-of-the-range Superlight R500, priced at £42,495. The car looks today pretty much the way it did back in 1973 when the first production unit was put together by Graham Nearn, who had bought the right to the car from the legendary Lotus man Collin Chapman.
Normally worth thousands of pounds, according to Caterham, this no-cost limited edition package, which is also in the overseas market as well as the UK, consists of:
- Grey painted chassis, replicating the original Lotus Seven colour
- Ruby red ‘40YOC’ paint, with bespoke bonnet stripes
- Hand-tailored leather seats, with grey piping
- Grey leather dashboard
- Bespoke tunnel top, with grey handbrake and gearstick gaiters
- Unique, numbered dash plaque
- New 15” silver alloy wheels**, with Caterham embossing and Avon ZV3 tyres
- ‘40YOC’ wheel centres and ignition key
