A rare Caterham Seven 40th Anniversary Edition with just 13,117 miles.

MODEL HISTORY
The Super Seven was first exhibited at the London Motorshow in 1957 and to celebrate forty continuous years of production and development the 40th Anniversary Special Edition was available. Just 67 were produced all in distinctive Ruby pearlescent paint with a Silver bonnet stripe and black coachline to give the Anniversary Seven a unique finish. Each was fitted with a numbered plaque on the cars dashboard, this example being number 23. The model was available with the K-Series or the 2.0 Vauxhall engine and at nearly £20,000 for the latter it was one of the most expensive 7s produced at the time. A sought-after and very rare Caterham.

EQUIPMENT
Tubular space frame with aluminium honeycomb cockpit stiffening, aluminium panels and composite nose cone and wings, front adjustable double wishbone with anti-roll bar, rear De Dion axle with adjustable anti-roll bar, Bilstein telescopic dampers, weather equipment, Seven grille, Motolita steering wheel, alloy handbrake lever, heater, full instrumentation, numbered plaque. Options; Full S Type interior, four point harnesses, tonneau, handbag.

EXTERIOR
Truly spectacular finished in unique and sparkling Ruby pearlescent paint. The distinct Silver bonnet stripe extends to envelope the maw of the nose cone which incorporates the Seven logo, a cost option on lesser models. Full weather equipment remains in perfect condition as does the optional tonneau cover and handbag. All exposed suspension components are in excellent condition and even the blue Bilstein stickers are vibrant helping to prove fair weather use only. There is a small touched in mark to the offside rear wing. The chrome rear wing protectors are bright but have slight gravel rash and to the paint each side. The incredibly light aluminium bonnet is unmarked and proudly displays the 40th Anniversary logo to each side and the front indicator lenses have been changed to the clear type. A very special Caterham.

INTERIOR
This stunning Anniversary example is fitted with the expensive upgrade to full leather with the S-Type Trim option, all in remarkable condition. This was a £998.50 option when new. As standard it is fitted with the lightweight seats and the Motolita leather steering wheel and the numbered plaque on the dash reminds the driver of the exclusivity of this model. All analogue gauges reveal healthy readings and the heater and front heated screen are welcome features. The Caterham 4-point harnesses offer a securing embrace and all carpeting is clean with no wear. This is a truly wonderful exhilarating example which came fully specified.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The Rover K-Series 1.6 litre MPI longitudinally mounted engine is factory standard and produces 115bhp, enough to propel this lightweight machine to 60mph in 6.2secs and on to a top speed of 108mph. Recent expenditure with the MGOC (Workshop) in November 2020 included replacement head gasket set to the upgraded MLS type and a new cambelt and water pump. The 4-branch manifold and silencer creates a glorious sound with an intoxicating and addictive bark. The 5-speed gearbox provides short, snappy accurate shifts to complete the thrilling package.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Immaculate Caterham Prisoner-style 15inch alloy wheels fitted as standard are shod in matching Michelin Pilot 195/50 R15 tyres all with ample tread including the rear mounted spare. A twin circuit split front/rear braking system with 228mm discs to all four corners bring this lightweight machine to an assured safe stop quickly.

HISTORY FILE
With only 67 Caterham Seven 40th Anniversary Editions made this exclusive model is a rare sight. Registered new on the 1st May 1997 to Mr M Brend the history file comprises of every MOT certificate to verify the low 13,117 miles covered. The original service book is included showing stamped service entries and the MGOC (Workshop) Ltd have just completed a full service, cambelt, water pump and upgraded MLS head gasket set in November 2020 at 13,054 miles. With up-market specification, historical significance and low units supplied by Caterham this really is wonderful opportunity into Caterham ownership with added exclusivity and KGF Classic Cars are delighted to offer this example once more.

MOT May 2022, HPI clear.

About usKGF Classic Cars was formed by the owner's desire to pass on the enjoyment of amazingly original, modern classic cars and the pleasure these vehicles offer to their appreciative owners.

The eldest son of Italian-born parents – whose families came to the Cambridgeshire Fens after WWII to make bricks for new housing – Karl Fasulo grew up in the 70s and 80s when there were fewer cars on the roads.

His appreciation of beautiful motors began when his engineer father, Sav, purchased a red 1983 Mercedes 280SL as a weekend car back in 1985. That same Mercedes is still well-loved and driven regularly by Karl and is now in the showroom for all to see!

After a successful career spanning two decades selling and managing premium vehicles for dealerships in London and Cambridgeshire, Karl decided to set up KGF Classic Cars, to source original, modern classic cars and share them with like-minded knights of the road.

He says: “As a kid, I would squeeze in the back of our lovely red Mercedes with my brother and sister (seatbelts were not mandatory at that time!) – Mum and Dad in the front and all of us enjoying the outing. I would gaze out at other cars and my brother and I would shout out all the makes and models of the ones going by!

“With encouragement from my father, I entered the world of classic cars at 15, when I saved up and bought a 1964 Riley Elf Mk 2. This car was cleaned and polished every weekend until I was 17 when I threw away my L-plates and took to the road. My interest never subsided, even during my career at BMW – to the point where driving these older cars gave me more pleasure than the modern offerings. Perhaps it is just happy childhood memories, but there is something about those classics which draws me back to them every time . . .”

He added: “I consider it a privilege to meet and do business with people who love them as much as I do. So, whether you are buying or selling – or just browsing (taking a spin down memory lane, perhaps!) I hope you enjoy this website.”

All the vehicles offered by KGF Classic Cars are personally checked, meticulously inspected and driven by us to ensure they meet the incredibly high standards that are becoming very hard to find. The cars are eventually selected with the ultimate aim of providing the new owner with the best possible experience of that model, whatever it may be.
