History
The Seven is descended from the Lotus Seven designed by Colin Chapman in 1957. Caterham took over production in 1973. Since then, the formula has remained unchanged: a tubular chassis, very low weight and a lively engine. The 485 takes its name from its power-to-weight ratio of approximately 485 ch per tonne. It is fitted with the Ford-sourced 2.0 Duratec engine.
This particular car was delivered new in February 2018 by D. Verbaere Automobiles in Lomme (59). It has had only one owner. Its factory specification is immaculate: special BMW Silver Grey paintwork, double orange stripes, 13-inch Apollo wheels and lowered suspension. The car has been serviced annually since 2019 by SV Automobiles in Yèvres (28). The Caterham service booklet is stamped and the invoices have been retained.
States
External state
The paintwork is BMW Silver Grey. The double orange stripe on the bonnet is a 3M sticker applied in 2018. The rear wings and side skirts have been protected by XPEL Ultimate Plus film since 2018. Carbon fibre protection panels were fitted to the wheel arches and sills in 2021. The windscreen was replaced in 2021. The car is fitted with 13-inch Apollo wheels.
Interior state
The interior is finished in black. The battery cut-off switch and relays were replaced in 2023.
Mechanical state
The 2.0 Duratec has been serviced annually since 2019 by SV Automobiles in Yèvres (28). The last service was carried out in May 2025, at 21,330 km: engine oil change, oil filter replacement and timing adjustment. The 6-speed gearbox was overhauled in 2022, including the 2nd and 3rd gear cogs, synchronisers and shift lever. The clutch (disc and hydraulic release bearing) was replaced at the same time. The accessory belt and an engine mount silent block were also replaced.
