There are sports cars and real sports cars. A Caterham Super 7 is the latter. Its design, descended from the Lotus 7 and refined over 40 years, is as pure as when engineering genius Colin Chapman came up with the concept.

Powerful engine, minimal comfort: the Seven is all about driving pleasure, even if it means being uncomfortable. Owners use them sparingly. Mileages are small, condition immaculate and depreciation minimal. Gooch Motors 01502 566562 in Suffolk have just such a 1998 model for pounds 17,995.
