Caterham Roadsport SV VVC

This very presentable Roadsport SV is an excellent way of getting into the Caterham range and enjoying the open roads.

Having been thoroughly maintained and periodically upgraded throughout its life, it offers extremely good levels of performance, with an identical engine to those which powered the Superlight R300 for a number of years. In this car, the original 1.8 K-Series was upgraded to VVC specification in 2014 by a well known K-Series specialist and then mapped by K-Series tuning experts “K-Maps”, who predict this car will now be running 160-165bhp.

The VVC version of the K-Series engine allowed for Variable Valve Control. Fundamentally this enable the engine to produce more power by altering the speed at which the valves opened and closed as the engine changed in RPM. In working practice, although this alteration of the engine did produce more power, it’s real gain was in torque.

The VVC engine was offered in Caterham range from around 2005, and over time was seen in two variations. The earlier edition producing around 150bhp, and an updated version from 2006 which produced 160bhp and took over from the roller barrelled X-Power engine used in the Superlight R300 of it’s day.

Having also undergone a complete repaint in recent years with TSK (Caterham’s official bodyshop for many years), this car looks excellent and goes brilliantly.
