Caterham is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its legendary Seven with a new limited-edition styling pack.

The styling pack will be available free of charge to the first 40 Seven orders taken from today and can be applied to any model in the Seven range.

The '40 Years of Caterham' pack includes a grey painted chassis, which replicates the original Lotus Seven colour, Red '40YOC' paint with bonnet stripes, leather seats with grey piping, a grey leather dashboard, new 15-inch alloys with '40YOC' wheel centres and a bespoke tunnel top, with grey handbrake and gearstick gaiters.

In addition to this, each model will be fitted with a unique numbered dashboard plaque, signifying the car's special-edition status.

Caterham claims that the 40YOC pack is designed to "evoke the nostalgia of the early Sevens," while including extra equipment which would normally cost thousands of pounds.

Caterham has been building the Seven since 1973, when its original owner, Graham Nearn, acquired the rights to the model off Colin Chapman. Since then, Caterham has developed the car substantially, but still sticks by Chapman's philosophy of 'Simplify, then add lightness.'

The current range of Sevens starts with the £19,995 Roadsport 125 and stretches up to the top-of-the-range Superlight R500, priced at £42,495.
