Introduced in 1996, the Roadsport range was marketed by Caterham as ‘The 7 for All Seasons’. Featuring a heater, full-size windscreen and full weather equipment not to mention the more accommodating ‘long cockpit’, the newcomer was powered by 1.4, 1.6 or 1.8-litre K-Series engines allied to Ford T9 five-speed or Caterham’s own six-speed manual transmission. Weighing a mere 555kg or so, every Roadsport was a strong performer with the most potent early derivative – the 1.8-litre VVC (Variable Valve Control 150bhp/128lbft) model – reputedly being capable of 0-60mph in 5 seconds and 126mph. Described by EVO magazine as representing ‘perhaps the best compromise between thrills and usability’, the Roadsport in its various guises remained a staple part of the Caterham 7 range for many years.

Coming from long term previous ownership in the hands of the original owner, this example has one former keeper recorded and registers some 25,800 miles. The history file includes correspondence between him and Caterham regarding the order and build specification of the car. A highly equipped Caterham Seven, it is fitted with LSD, six-speed gearbox, big brakes and anti-cavity tank. Maintained by Kenrick Motors in North Wales since new, invoices on file total some £29,895.04 spent with them between 2005 and 2025. Clearly not your average Seven, it has been fastidiously maintained by both of it's owners and has gladly never seen a race track. Currently fitted with LED headlights (originals are included), it benefits from all weather kit and a hood bag. Offered with a remarkable history file including order form and current V5c
