Assets

Supercar-slaying performance, beautifully balanced handling, great six-speed 'box, racecar-with-numberplates looks.

Unforgiving ride, no ABS, excessive care is needed in standing water.

Verdict

Hardcore R300 is at home on the road and is our pick of the Caterham range.

Caterham Superlight R300 Review

Used Value5 out of 5

Caterhams are some of the lowest-depreciating cars money can buy. For this you can thank their rarity on the used market and their loyal following. This huge demand means that, other than a sizeable first year drop, the little 7 is a good investment.

Don't believe us? Check out the classifieds, where even a well-campaigned Caterham Academy race car is up at nearly-new prices after a full season. It's rare to find even an elderly, hard-worked Caterham for less than £7,000.
