Caterham has added a new 150bhp engine its Seven range.

The arrival of the new variant of the two-seater marks a departure from Caterham’s original plans when it first announced details of the replacement for the long-serving K-Series engines last autumn.

Prices start at £17,495 in Roadsport guise and rise to £20,495 for the stripped down 300bhp Superlight version which reaches 0-60mph 4.6 seconds.

Caterham is also planning a 50th anniversary one-off special planned for the 7’s Golden Jubilee celebrations at Donington in June.
