Description
The VX Supersprint superseded the 1700cc X-flow as engine supply dwindled. These Webber carburetor shod, 8 valve engines came to Caterham from Vauxhall/Holden as 1600cc engines producing around 100bhp. Caterham used these standard engines in their Classic range and also in a later special edition called the Beaulieu. They also produced an upgrade for these, increasing them to 1800cc’s and gaining around an additional 30bhp, and sold them as Supersprints.
This original Supersprint has lived a very sheltered life. With just three owners from new and less than 8000 miles on the clock, it must be one of the cleanest and lowest mileage examples left anywhere.
These Sevens made for wonderful “would be classic” cars. Thanks to the charm and character of the Webber carburetors, they make all the right noises and smells. But with 130bhp under the bonnet and incredible reliability, they’re a classic car without the downsides.
