I had a superlight as my 1st ever Caterham. I foolishly test drove it as a standard factory spec car (aero screen, plastic seat (pre tillets) no heater.

I then had leather seats, screen and heater added.....oh the mistakes of youth and a novice seven owner!!!
As much as I see you point.... I wouldn't want a seven without a heater! I'm all for driving the car with the heater turned up in the middle of winter smile.

Anyone know more of the history of this car? Looks nice but has been up for sale regularly over the past few years. At least 3 times I think. Now at a Mazda specialist, not the usual haunt of a used Superlight.

Are you thinking about buying it?

Not actively, but ticks a lot of the boxes so could be interested if it were to hang around. Have e-mailed you.

I built Superlight 190 in 2002 and sold it in 2009, I reckon its now had around four owners. Still looks immaculate!

On a random note, I noticed this car has a chip on the lip of the dash too, and lots of cars seem to have a rubber cover over this bit. I have no idea what this would be called and assume I could just get a length of some generic cover to put on mine to protect it. Anyone know what I should be looking for?

I've got some trim on the edge you refer to.

I Googled "Automotive edge trim" and found on the first page the following

http://www.nfauto.co.uk/rubber_trim.htm

http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-330-pvc-edge-trims...

Should be able to find what you need on the Woolies site.

Sorry to go off topic but my Superlight, number 157, is lacking the shiny silver numbered badge. Did all the Superlight's come with one, or is it possible it never had it fitted?

My car didn't have a dash plaque it was an early 97 car. For the road it was beautifully balanced just lacked a bit of grunt on track.

I recently bought No 100 , my first Caterham and it is fantastic! Good to see it on the Superlight register.
