Hi,

I need to complete a V62 form to get a replacement V5. The car is a 2004 Caterham Roadsport SV with the 1.8 K series engine, but what is the exact model as written on the V5? Does anyone know?

Thanks,

Dan

I sent mine away yesterday to change the colour. Mines a 1999 road sport non SV. K Series car.

Mine has the make as Caterham with no other information! It's factory built, so you'd think it would be right!

Hmm, that's odd! Maybe I'll just leave that black then.

Zed, I've had many 7s and the V5/logbook has always (as above) only stated "Caterham" or with a couple including my current car "Caterham Super seven", be interesting to hear if anyone has had an actual model stated as well.

That fits with the data on howmanyleft.co.uk. There are two variants of the 21, but all 7s just have a blank type, hence "missing".

Edited to say - you'll need to put "caterham"" into the search field.

After taking delivery of my factory built car I noticed the "Body type" described as "Combine Harvester".

Needless to say Caterham were no help in helping me sort it out. It took some time.

It trasnspires that "Combine Harvester" comes immediately before "Convertible" on the DVLA list of alternatives.
