Caterham 7 300hp Sadev Sequential Paddleshift

Originally built for European hill climb championships by DTA owner Allan Warburton
Converted for circuit racing by Danny Winstanley and run with great success in NSSCC before he moved to historic racing / team ownership

Outright race winner, class winner and regular front runner in the hands of a novice driver in 2022. Car is 100% ready to race and win this year in class H of the CSCC Magnificent Sevens, Castle Combe GT, NSSCC, etc. I don’t think you will find a more competitive car for the money. It’s not an oil painting, but it’s in great shape mechanically.

Ultra reliable, I had two non finishes this year which were wholly down to me. One for a lost alternator belt at snetterton (over tensioned by me) and a snapped throttle cable at Combe while running second.

Remapped at NMS with a conservative rev limit giving 296bhp and strong torque.
Clutchless up/down shifting controlled by the DTA S80pro ecu recalibrated by NMS
Penske 3 way dampers
Engine was rebuilt at Paul Gardner racing engines prior to my ownership, has done 5 mag sevens events with me and some Trackdays with the previous owner.
