Details:
The Caterham 21 is a two-seat roadster designed and hand built by Caterham Cars. It was intended to be a more standard styled version of the Caterham 7.
The original car was produced for the 1994 British Motor Show to celebrate 21 years of Caterham Cars manufacture of the Lotus Seven. Styled by Iain Robertson and developed by a team under Jez Coates, the aim was to have a car that offered "the chance to experience Caterham motoring in a more practical format". The 21 was offered with a range of 4-cylinder engines from 1.6 to 2.0 L, with 115 to 230 hp.Caterham originally intended to produce 200 cars per year, but fewer than 50 were actually made before production ceased. Several variations were created to participate in racing events.
The 21 is essentially the same car as a Caterham 7, sharing almost all major parts. The chassis is stiffer than in a Caterham 7 due to the use of "toblerones" in the driver and passenger door sills and extra strengthening at the front of the car.
The current owners run a regular gathering at a sprint track, with a large number of the 48 (49?) car produced in attendance.
Offered here is what the vendor believes is chassis number 36, which is complete with all build certificates, sign off documents and the company sales brochure. The history file also includes a number or articles in various motoring magazines, dating from when the car was new.
Said to have been well looked after as part of a private collection, the car has benefited from engine tweeks with new throttle body anti cavitation tank. It has also had the suspension set up and weighted, so it handles like a Caterham should.
This rare piece of Caterham history is offered complete with bills and rolling road read-outs and comes with a very relevant registration number.
