Caterham's sales figures have climbed sharply this year with sales of used Sevens up nearly 20 percent on last year.

"The long summer has kept demand at a record high into the autumn ," explained Andy Noble, Sales & Marketing Director. "People are buying now so that they can enjoy a crisp winters morning drive and be ready for the spring sunshine ."

Caterham has sold over 10,000 examples of Colin Chapman’s legendary lightweight sportscar since 1973, when it officially took over manufacturing and distribution rights. Many are still around today with some owners well into their twentieth year of ownership.

The oldest model currently in stock at Caterham is a 1985 built 1700 Supersprint. Despite its age, it's still commanding a price of £8,500.

"Interest in the larger Roadsport SV and the Superlight R300 and R400 have certainly helped us freshen stock as owners buy new again ," says Noble. "Customers also have a greater choice at this time of year and the winter often brings out the cannier buyer looking for value for money, so we’re making sure we carry sufficient stock to keep our customers happy !"
