This Caterham Seven SV Roadsport is a kit-built unit that was ordered by the seller in November 2004 with a Ford SVT Zetec 2.0-liter inline-four and a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission. Finished in Caterham Yellow over black leather upholstery, it also has a limited-slip differential with 3.92:1 gearing, four-wheel disc brakes with four-piston calipers, and a side-exit exhaust system. Items that accompany the vehicle include a carbon-fiber aero screen, a tonneau cover, a soft top, half doors, an ECU flash programmer, a car cover, an open differential with 3.38:1 gearing and other spare parts, and documentation folders. This Seven has 3k miles and is offered with a clean Carfax report and an Idaho title in the seller’s name that lists it as a 2004 model.
The body’s yellow finish is contrasted by a dark grille, fenders, and roll bar. A fender ding is pictured in the gallery below, and some scratches and chipped paint are present around the vehicle. There is noted spider-cracking on the front fiberglass wing, and a replacement wing is said to be included in the sale.
Gray-finished 13″ alloy wheels are wrapped in Nankang AR-1 tires. Adjustable Bilstein front coilovers and De Deion rear suspension are additional elements. The four-wheel disc brakes have been revised with four-piston calipers.
The leather bucket seats have six-point harnesses, and the cockpit features a carbon-fiber dashboard panel.
A Momo steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer, while gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and air-fuel ratio are mounted centrally along with a Veypor performance data display. The digital odometer indicates 3k miles.
The seller notes that the Ford SVT Zetec 2.0L inline-four has a lightweight flywheel, performance camshafts, silicon hoses, and a lightweight Odyssey AGM battery.
Power is supplied to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential with 3.92:1 gearing. A side-exit exhaust system is equipped, and the vehicle does not have a catalytic converter.
