The 310S SV is (or was) perhaps Caterham’s best mid-range model, offering outstanding performance, with superb comfort and drivability.

The 310’s engine has been incredibly popular from day one, replacing the 140bhp sigma Supersport engine. It provides enough power to out-perform almost all road cars, without being so powerful as to easily get you into trouble. But more important than its power, is how it delivers it. The variable cam timing from the VCT-I sigma engine gives it a magnificent powerband, pulling cleanly from as low down as 2000rpm all the way through to its upper limit at 7400rpm, just becoming more and more exhilarating as you go. It really was Caterham’s “go to” option.

The S package provides the softer subtleties which makes this car so user friendly. Starting with the slightly softer Caterham Bilstein fixed platform suspension. This takes up the lumps and bumps of the road in its stride, giving the user a comfortable and stable basis from which to go out and enjoy the roads. From there you have other refinements as standard; leather seats, nicely carpeted interior, a heater for those cold mornings… it all adds up.

This particular example, built on the larger SV chassis for extra space and range, has been finished in Porsche Riviera Blue with a metallic Anthracite Grey nose band and wings, along with orange accents, including an orange trackday roll bar. Having covered just 11000 miles from new this 310S SV is just run in, and ready to hit the roads or tracks for many a year to come.
