Super Seven 1600 Register

This post is intended to be a register of the Super Seven 1600. The model was introduced in April 2020 as a heritage version of the 270 with styling and finishes which are only used on the 'Super Seven' branded cars. This includes flared wings (although cycle wings were an option), chrome finishes to the windscreen, wipers and grill, proper Smiths dials and leather interior options. The car also has a mechanical difference from the 270, or strictly the EU 275, on which it is based. The standard Sigma induction unit is replaced with twin Jenvey Heritage throttle bodies which change the sound and character of the engine.

By June 2021 they had stopped taking orders due to dwindling supplies of the Ford Sigma unit. Mine was the last UK-ordered car, but there may be some EU or Japanese cars which were built afterwards. According to the Caterham archivist just over 100 cars were built during the 2 years or so that it was in production. 

I'm giving each car an ID number, just so that I can distinguish them. If you own a SS1600 and would like your car listed here please send a picture to my gmail which is 'cjwseven'.
