1957 Caterham 620R

Caterham Seven 620R

Sports car buyers seeking motoring excitement in its purest form often find their way to Caterham. Pared down to the bare essentials of high-performance driving, a featherweight Caterham strips away all the distractions between a driver, the road, and speed. This heavily optioned Caterham Seven 620R is perfectly equipped to reintroduce the next owner to the joys of driving pleasure.

The Caterham Seven 620 is powered by a supercharged 2.0-liter Ford Duratec engine producing 310 horsepower. Standard equipment includes a lightweight flywheel, limited-slip differential, and ventilated brake discs with quad piston calipers. The track-engineered R Pack upgrades the standard 5-speed transmission to a 6-speed manual, along with a race suspension, and 13-inch Apollo alloy wheels.

On this Caterham, the R package is enhanced with numerous options, including a Track Day roll bar, plumbed-in fire extinguisher, sequential shift lights, LED package, and full windshield package and race screen package.

The interior is a hospitable place for enthusiastic driving excursions. This example was built with the large chassis with lowered floors for taller drivers, heated carbon seats, suede Momo steering wheel, under dash heater, armrest doors, map pocket, battery master cut-off switch, gearbox and handbrake gaitors in Admiralty Blue, and full top.

Even sitting still this Caterham looks ready for action, with its Viper Blue paint with double white stripes and yellow pinstripes, full carbon fiber front and rear wheel arches/wings, carbon indicator pods, the silver wheel option, and the number 7 series designation in the grille.

Ready for a true driving thrill? As Caterham says, “This isn't a car, it's a missile. With wheels.” This particular missile is offered for $120,000.
