The Caterham Super Sprint 1700 is the direct successor to the legendary Lotus Seven and is widely regarded as one of the purest driver's cars ever built. Thanks to its ultra-lightweight construction, razor-sharp steering and mechanical simplicity, it delivers a driving experience that is still difficult to match today. Free from unnecessary luxuries, the Super Sprint was designed with one goal in mind: maximum driving enjoyment.

This 1993 example remains in good original, unrestored condition and is presented in an elegant blue finish. As an original RHD (Right Hand Drive) car, it retains its authentic British character. The original bodywork, well-preserved interior and honest, uncleaned engine bay further underline the originality of this Caterham. This car is also equipped with the desirable 5-speed manual gearbox and the classic live rear axle, a combination highly appreciated by enthusiasts for delivering a pure and direct driving experience. Its low weight, outstanding handling and direct steering make it equally at home on winding country roads, classic motoring events and track days. A true driver's car that offers an uncompromising and unfiltered driving experience.
