Had a brief go in one of those when they were new. All those 160/170 versions are joyful. Keep thinking I should get one but you really have to be in the mood for spending time with a Caterham...

I'm struggling to understand the "want to be in the mood", when are you not in the mood?

It is indeed very cool that they applied the Super Seven 1600 concept to the 160/170

They also did a really good job dressing it up as an older Seven... Everything from the grille to the redone dash layout sells it, and then the 160/170 series having such narrow fenders also contributes.

The Super Sprint was also great, with a limited-slip and a little more power.

Bonus pic of the Sprint next to a slightly larger British car.

It is SO GOOD.

They didn’t do too bad with the CSR 420R either. lol

Just come over!

midnightdorifto.bsky.social•152 days ago

okay but seriously I want to do CA-130 all the way to the 5 in something like this

supcat.bsky.social•152 days ago

It's funny but I've only done all (or any?) that route (in separate halves) on a bicycle. Been meaning to get the 7 up there but it's also been a million degrees...

it’s rough but it’s also incomprehensibly good on four wheels

I love these so much. The 3-pot turbo in my Cappuccino is a giggle, I’m sure it would be even more of a giggle in a Seven!
