Caterham Seven 310
Born of Caterham’s inescapable urge to continually develop the Seven, as well as its ongoing work to hone its acclaimed domestic motorsport programme, the Seven 310 was a happy accident that may just take the Seven to the pinnacle of its prowess.
With an upgraded 1.6-litre Ford Sigma engine, the 310 produces an extra 20bhp. The upgrade was destined to be an aftermarket option but, once the car hit the road, there was no question that it would become a classic in its own right.
Harking back to the Superlight R300 so beloved of Caterham purists, the 310 features the perfect balance between the car’s 155bhp and the Seven’s legendary handling characteristics, making this a confidence-inspiring, intuitive beast that offers the absolute maximum in non‑threatening driving fun.
Once again coming with the S and R packs, depending on whether your focus is the road or the track, the Seven 310 also has an appealing starting price of £21,995.
If Caterham was only going to make one Seven for the rest of its days, this would be it.
