This Caterham Superlight was reportedly built by Rocky Mountain Sports Cars of Denver, Colorado, and was acquired by the seller in 2018. The car is finished in Stinger Yellow with black stripes and is powered by a Ford Zetec 2.0-liter DOHC inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 13″ alloy wheels, a roll cage, LED lighting, a three-spoke MOMO steering wheel, and Intatrim Odyssey seats with five-point Corbeau Racing harnesses. This Caterham Seven is now offered at no reserve with a tonneau cover, a car cover, spare wheels with tires, a spare roll bar, an Aluma tilt-bed utility trailer, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name listing the car as a 2000 CRTC.
The bodywork was refinished in Dodge Stinger Yellow in 2019 and features black stripes and Caterham side decals. Additional equipment includes a Caterham roll bar, black soft side doors, LED headlights and taillights, and a carbon-fiber nose cone, cycle fenders, and side mirrors. Rock chips and other imperfections are visible, and there is a hole near one of the hood vents. Previous repairs to the nose cone are noted, and replacement side mirrors, Brooklands-style aeroscreens, and spare halogen headlights accompany the car.
Black 13″ Compomotive CXR alloy wheels are wrapped in Toyo Proxes tires measuring 185/60 up front and 205/60 out back. Additional 13″ black and yellow SLR wheels mounted with Federal tires accompany the car and are shown in the gallery below. Braking is from four-wheel discs with Caterham-branded front calipers, and Nitron NTR1 coilovers were added in 2020.
The cockpit features Intatrim Odyssey seats upholstered in black with yellow inserts and five-point Corbeau Racing harnesses, a carbon-fiber dash panel, and carbon-fiber weave thermoplastic interior paneling. Equipment includes a rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped shift boot and parking brake lever, a fire-suppression system, LED cabin lighting, lowered floor panels, rubber floor mats, and a 12-volt outlet. The seller notes that a replacement scuttle was added in 2019 and the emergency cut-off switch was relocated to the driver’s side.
The leather-wrapped MOMO steering is mounted on a RaceTek quick-release hub and wheel fronts a programmable Cartek five-stage sequential shift light. Caterham-branded instrumentation includes a 140-mph GPS speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer. Additional gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level are mounted on the dashboard, and an air/fuel ratio gauge has been added below the dash. The digital odometer indicates 2,300 miles, approximately 2k miles were reportedly been added by the seller since the 2019 engine build. Total mileage is unknown.
Power comes from a Ford Zetec 2.0-liter DOHC inline-four that was reportedly rebuilt in 2019 by Road-N-Race Automotive of Riviera Beach, Florida, with a 2.2L Zetec bottom end and a ported cylinder head. Other modifications are said to include:
- 85mm JE pistons
- ACL rod bearings
- TWM throttle bodies
- Kent Cams camshafts
- Oversized valves
- ARP head studs
- Fidanza aluminum flywheel
- Upgraded ECU with a programable MicroSquirt system
- Replacement coil packs and injectors
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ford T-9 five-speed manual transmission. A replacement clutch and an aluminum bellhousing were added under current ownership. The exhaust features wrapped headers, a Jet Hot-coated side pipe, and a Simpson muffler.
The 2020 Aluma 6812H tilt-bed single-axle utility trailer features 14″ five-spoke wheels and aluminum construction.
The removed Caterham roll bar is included in the sale along with a spare front grille, stainless steel rear fender shields, interior knee trim panels, and a Caterham car cover.
