The Superlight R400 has long been one of Caterham’s most formidable models. Equivalent to a very highly rated 420R, the Superlight R400 offered blistering acceleration and cornering performance, with a power-to-weight ratio of circa 400bhp per tonne.

This was one of the very last before the range was rebranded. It was also originally built as a staff car for the head of Caterham’s F1 operations at the time.

Now, it represents one of the youngest and tidiest examples of these truly superb Sevens. Painted in Ferrari Titanium Silver, it looks as beautiful as it drivers.
