The Appeal
Just like barista coffee, you can have your Caterham Seven in virtually any style to suit the most discerning tastes. The aptly named Superlight Sigma is rated as one of the best versions, not least because it sticks closely to Colin Chapman’s maxim: ‘add lightness.’
Keeping weight below 600kgs makes the most of the 150bhp 1.6litre engine to deliver a power to weight ratio that would embarrass a supercar. The result is a superlative driving experience, one that is both raw and visceral. No surprise that contemporary reviewers raved about the Superlight Sigma.
Finished in stand-out Lamborghini Burnt Orange with neat black detailing and stripes, this 2008 Superlight Sigma 150 looks as good as it goes. Some choice options that enhance the aesthetics and driving experience, such as a LSD, roof and carbon dashboard, dial up the appeal.
It is a very low mileage car that has had just two enthusiast keepers from new. It comes to market with full service history and the reassurance of a long, advisory-free MOT. If thrills and engagement are top of your driving wish list then surely there is no better choice than this great example.
