Caterham 40YOC Limited Edition Roadsport SV 125

The 40YOC Limited Edition was made in 2013 to celebrate 40 Years of Caterham Cars. Though the Seven has been in production in one form or other since 1957, it became the Caterham 7 in 1973 when Graham Nearn bought the rights to produce the car from Colin Chapman of Lotus. In that time, thousands of Sevens have hit the road, almost every one unique.

Only 40 cars were adorned with the 40YOC package, which was an option which could be added to any spec of the buyers choice. The package included a custom livery and interior, which included a numbered plaque.

This, number 16 of the 40 YOC cars, comes in the form of Caterham’s Roadsport 125 SV.

The Roadsport 125 was one of  Caterham’s all time best sellers, making up a large portion of their road car production as well as their entire Academy package each year. Powered by Ford’s 1.6l Sigma engine, used across their range of Fiesta’s and Focus’ for years, this entry level Caterham is extremely dependable and provides ample performance for the majority of circumstances. As well as the performance, this highly refined engine also provides fantastic drivability, with a smooth production of power throughout the rev range and a fantastic noise from cone air filter and short 4-into-1 exhaust system. Caterham also saw fit to have the engines mapped to pop and burble at low RPM, contributing enormously to the incredibly entertaining driving experience.
