Description

1993 Caterham Super Seven HPC Evolution Asking $38,999 Chicago, Illinois (Southwest Suburbs) This is a particularly rare Caterham variant that I originally intended to keep, but have now decided to sell to finance other endeavors. For the uninitiated, the HPC received the venerable Vauxhall C20XE 2.0L I-4 engine, described by one of my friends who went for a ride as "the angriest-sounding four cylinder I've ever heard" (probably mostly due to the induction/cowl noise it makes), and known for b...

Our Take:
  • Rarity and Powerhouse: The Caterham Super Seven HPC Evolution from 1993 is an exceptionally rare beast with reportedly only 20 to 30 of them ever produced. This particular model is a real sleeper with its Swindon Racing Engines-tuned Vauxhall C20XE engine, transforming it from a lively 175 HP to a fiery 218 HP. Imagine that kind of power in a car that weighs just over 1,300 pounds—it's like strapping a rocket to a roller skate.
  • Engine Heritage: The Vauxhall C20XE engine under the hood is often revered by enthusiasts as one of the finest naturally aspirated four-cylinder engines of the '90s. Its sound is described passionately as "angriest," thanks to its distinctive induction roar. It was a favorite not just in Caterhams but found a home in various racing forms, a testament to its durability and performance pedigree.
  • Documented History and Maintenance: The seller has painstakingly documented the entire history of this specific car, which adds significant value for collectors. The blog posts delve into its past owners and modifications made, effectively narrating its journey through time. Plus, with an entirely new cooling system installed (overcoming a quirky gauge issue), it promises greater reliability now.
  • Included Extras: This Caterham isn't just a bare-bones race car; it comes with some thoughtful extras. Not only does it include full weather gear and various spare parts, but it's also equipped with a high-end RuggedRadios communication setup—a nod to both practicality and luxurious indulgence, as few lightweight track cars boast such features.
