| The Caterham 7 Roadsport is the lightweight sportscar for all conditions. Combining high performance on the road with the practicality of weather protection, as well as the ability to excel on track that is inherent in all Sevens, this is the Caterham that will do it all. |
| |

Standard equipment includes 14” alloy
wheels, 5-speed gearbox, heater, hood,
full windscreen, weather equipment
and a carpeted interior. A large range
of upgrades and optional extras are
available should you wish to add even
more performance to your 7.
The Roadsport is available with both
the standard chassis and the wide-bodied
‘SV’ chassis. The standard chassis
offers the compact lightweight dimensions
that have made the Seven a legend
in its 50 year history.
The SV chassis gives increased interior
and luggage space due to the greater
width and length of the car, making
it suited for extended touring or
for customers over 6’2” in height.
The SV also benefits from the additional
stability offered by wide-track front
suspension and increased range from
a larger fuel tank, with only a 25kg
weight penalty over the standard chassis.
The SV option is available as an optional
extra for just £1500.
Whichever chassis you choose, Caterham
offers some great engines
to propel it! From January 2007 production
onwards, Caterham has returned to
Ford power, as used by Colin Chapman
in the original Lotus 7 50 years ago.
Two variants of the 1.6 litre Ford
Sigma, with 125bhp and 150bhp, are
available from launch. These units
have been tuned specially for Caterham
and give substantial gains in torque
and economy over K-Series. For ultimate
power, the 160bhp K-Series 1.8 VVC
is also still available whilst stocks
last. A higher power variant of the
1.6 Sigma will be launched in Summer
2007.

So whether it’s a Sunday afternoon
drive to a country pub, or another
lap of the Nurburgring, a Caterham
7 Roadsport will give you the driving
experience you’ve always wanted. |
