The Caterham Super Seven is one of the purest driving experiences legal on public roads. Jump in with me and experience the 1987 Super Seven with the Ford Kent 1700 Supersprint Crossflow engine. With a steeper cam, larger valves, and reworked carbs, this thing absolutely screams to redline while the 1350lbs chassis rockets along. Less is more.

I own an almost identical one but with a couple of tweaks (quaife ATB diff and 3D mapped ignition to bring the old xflow into the, er, 90s 😊). Used to race it - drive to events, take the tools out and stick the numbers on, check the tyre pressures and off you go. It was still competitive fifteen years ago against anything in the class. Not bad for a car designed in the fifties with a pushrod engine from the sixties and brakes of a Triumph Spitfire 😁. I loved your reaction and review - you really got across the sheer simple joy of driving one. If you get one you won’t regret it - they don’t depreciate, cost peanuts to run and you can fix most things yourself 👍 Go on, treat yourself!

The Dutch hand builders 'Donkervoort' also had a kitset 'Series111 Seven' which was millimeter perfect to the original Chapman blueprint plans, and the lowest volume ever Seven builder is an NZ constructor 'ESC' standing for Edgar Salwegter Cars, who worked for Donkervoort in Holland. He emigrated to NZ in 1986 bringing just ONE Donkervoort Series111 kit with him. In 1988 he had completed the project and had constructed a WORLD ONE OFF Seven, using an Australian 3042cc Holden straight six engine with triple side-draughts and mated to a Celica 5 speed box and a Capri diff and rear axle set-up. The big six he blueprinted with a racing camshaft, a race head, and dynamic balancing, using a dry sump oil system to fit the big engine under the Seven's hood, with the addition of a smallish power bulge. He named this car 'ESC1' and raced it for a while before selling it. It was an open top finished in white and black, with wide white 'Minilites' and big rubber. The Koni suspension was reverted from 'Ackermann' for public roads. The thing looked and sounded amazing. It accelerated like a moon rocket on full thrust. It is sitting in my garage. I am too old and knackered to drive it anymore.

That car is one of my dream cars, cause A - it's light and B - it gives you so much unfiltered joy and raw experience that I think not many cars can match, C - I've driven one like 10 years ago and it stuck with me like a bad stench. And there is no traffic! And those roads! What the hell? There's traffic everywhere, where I live, and all the time. Another great video, bless you man, you just made my Monday morning! Keep 'em comin'! PS: the sound of that carbed and cammed 1.7... just wow

Mine is track and autocross focused. You can also find them with conventional seat belts, softer suspension, and a couple more concessions to comfort. But personally, I am totally in love with this car as it is. I drove it from home to Lime Rock Park and home in a single day, 300+ miles in a day. I was surprised at how comfortable I was. The biggest issue was the exhaust noise. I should have brought some ear muffs!

There's a french company named Martin. They made replicas of numerous cars, one of them being the Super Seven which are more street focused than the original: the engine is less powerful but more torquey and smoother, the car is a bit heavier and wider for a more comfortable riding experience. The Martin Super Sevens were especially built to cruise around the winding countryside roads rather than zooming on a track at full speed. The driving feeling is quite similar to the Catheram, it just feels a bit more tamed.

Great video, great car, lovely roads with beautiful autumn scenery. These were twelve minutes so well spent! For a while I had a Westfield SEight with the 3.5 Rover V8: it was heavier and not as nimble as this one you're driving, but what it lacked it made up in torque and noise (it had side exhausts too). These are wonderful toys but they really need a proper road and decent traffic conditions to be enjoyed, not to mention a fair weather: it's great that you had all these conditions to film this video. I ended up trading mine for a Lotus Elise, which is definitely more civilized but also more usable.

You won't regret it. I loved mine and drove it all year round, even in snow and ice (with winter tyres on). It had sticky Yokohama A022 tyres for most of the year which gave plenty of confidence. You also have to learn to be smooth on the inputs... it's so direct and responsive, being hamfisted and treating the throttle as an on/off switch will get you in to trouble. Especially in the wet. Oh, and the full hood and weather kit is a pain to get on and off!

@@TedwardDrives And if you want me to be completely honest, your videos are some of the most ASMR POV driving videos i've ever seen! theres no one else id rather watch drive some of the best sounding and most unique cars, and just wearing some nice headphone is an amazing experience, JUST by watching and listening to your videos. It makes me want to feel what you felt! I want more Caterham videos now lol. The sounds of this engine are just too good and is good material for an Eargasm 😂🤤

I just watched this with headphones and my left ear has never been so happy. I need a Caterham in my life. My ND Miata is a blast for all the same reasons but this is just on another level. I can't imagine driving something that weighs 1000 POUNDS LESS than my Miata.
