Area Representative Gavel Posted May 8, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted May 8, 2019 Nothing to do with me. I bought a car from a private owner who kept it in storage at Hampshire Classics and they told me about this Supersprint at the time. It is from a deceased estate. I know nothing more than that.https://www.hampshireclassicsltd.co.uk/inventory/2018-caterham-seven-supersprint-s3-special-edition-with-full-polished-windscreen-with-mohair-hood-and-side-screens/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted May 8, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted May 8, 2019 The colour scheme gives it a vintage look but do they really command those prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Totally silly money, too many speculators bought them seeing how many came up for sale straight after they were delivered.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stridey Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 It’s a pretty thing and I saw them when shown at Goodwood and were selling fast.I thought they were expensive or what they were, but my friend who works in fashion wasn’t concerned by price, wasn’t interested that a standard sprint was way cheaper, but more by the ‘limited edition’ factor. Sounds like good marketing by Caterham.Here on blatchat we are preaching to the converted, many like tinkering and in my own case I went for a retro look, including getting my stanchions and frame metal polished and adding chrome wipers and vintage ‘bits’... many people don’t have either the knowledge, vision, time, to do this to a used car but do have a chequebook. Also many people want turnkey new reliability. I feel strong prices for Supersprints mean strong prices throughout the second hand market.As I say, pretty thing, nicely styled by Caterham, and fun, which is what ownership is all about.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted May 9, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted May 9, 2019 Sounds like good marketing by Caterham.It certainly was brilliant marketing.And, by all accounts a fun car. The talk about it when we visited Caterham Technology (RIP) was most interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
