1993 Caterham Seven

This 1993 Caterham Super Seven HPC is a left-hand-drive example that was purchased new by the current owner in December 1993, and it now shows 18k miles. The car is finished in metallic purple over a gray interior, and power is provided by a Vauxhall 2.0-liter “Red Top” inline-four linked with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes 16″ alloy wheels, Bilstein coilovers, four-wheel disc brakes, a louvered hood, a padded roll bar, side exhaust exits, dual Weber carburetors, Luke Racing Systems racing harnesses, and a fire extinguisher. The carburetors were tuned and the brakes were bled in preparation for the sale. This Super Seven HPC is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner at no reserve with a vinyl top, a tonneau cover, side curtains, spare parts, manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Utah title. The body is finished in metallic purple, and equipment includes a louvered hood, a Lotus badge, a padded roll bar, polished rear fender guards, and a polished heat shield covering the side-mounted exhaust that exits at the left side of the car. A tonneau cover, boot cover, side curtains, and a black soft top are included in the sale, though the top roof bows are missing. Pitting is visible on the rear fender guards, damage on one of the mirrors is noted, and exterior blemishes are shown in the photo gallery below. Alloy five-spoke 16″ wheels are mounted with 205/45 Michelin Pilot Exalto tires that show date codes from 2004. A spare is fitted to the rear of the vehicle. The car rides on Bilstein coilovers at all four corners. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes, and the seller notes the brakes were bled in preparation for the sale. The left-hand-drive cabin features bucket seats trimmed in gray along with a color-coordinated center tunnel, side panels, and carpets. Equipment includes Luke Racing Systems racing harnesses, a heater, a fire extinguisher, and a Lotus-branded shift knob. The removable leather-wrapped Moto-Lita steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 150-mph speedometer and a tachometer. Supplementary gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level are mounted to the dashboard. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 18k miles. The 2.0-liter “Red Top” inline-four was jointly developed by Vauxhall and Cosworth and is visually identifiable by a unique cam cover with an L-shaped spark plug valley cover. The seller reports that this example was modified by Swindon with a stage 2 upgrade. A revised aluminum radiator is equipped along with twin Weber carburetors, which the seller notes were tuned in preparation for the sale. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ford Sierra-specification five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Manufacturer’s literature is included in the sale along with spare parts. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Deleware and Utah.
