Caterham Roadsport SV 120
Description:
This Roadsport SV is a great spec for anyone looking to go out and explore the open roads.
Powered by Caterham’s standard version of the 1.6l K-series engine, this Seven has 120bhp, which is plenty enough if truth be told, and is still capable of launching this car from a standing start to 60mph in around 6 seconds. With that performance comes excellent drivability. It produces a smooth powerband and loves to rev when the moment takes you.
Some other features on this car which are less common are the Watts-linkage and adjustable rear anti-roll bar. These were additional options offered by Caterham which refined the driving experience and enabled the user to make minor adjustments to the way the car feels and behaves. These provide a lovely extra to this car and make it a real driver’s edition.
Moving on from the mechanicals, this Roadsport has all of the creature comforts you could hope for in a Seven. Weather equipment, leather seats, spare wheel, this Caterham is perfectly suited to longer distances and comfort.
As an individual example, this car drives and behaves wonderfully and would make for an excellent companion to any petrolhead. Cosmetically, it could really do with a little bit of love. The paintwork has faded from many years of being kept in the sun and there are some blisters in the paint where the skins have started to oxidize against the chassis. Truth be told, this car could do with a fresh coat of paint to bring it back to its best.
We are currently offering this car as a light project. As a project car, we will not be supplying this car with our in-house warranty. We will instead put it through our workshop and provide the buyer with a detailed report of the car’s condition, along with advice on what might need doing.
Alternatively, we can offer to fully prepare this car including a full respray to the buyer’s specification. This car would then come fully serviced and include our full in-house warranty.
