Especially since there is even more choice for 2026 when it comes to the Caterham configuration. Eight new colors are the big news, with two standard (i.e. free) paints – Poppy Red and Blacksmith – and three on the £1,000 Premium palette: Earl Grey, Viola Parsifae (which looks great) and Ice Forest Green, as seen in Project V. In the £1,250 Exclusive range, Sevens can now be painted Chainmail Silver, Sunset Riot (another good one) and Heritage Sage.

There are a few other cosmetic goodies included in the 2026 refresh, with all Caterhams from Super Seven 600 to 620 now getting clear lenses in body-coloured headlight bowls, also a body-coloured roll bar, a leather tunnel top on both S and R models plus a new seat that’s standard on the former and optional on the latter. Everything included at no extra cost. That’s good news when it comes to Seven spec, because it’s still not a cheap sports car: a 660cc car is factory built from £32,000.
Still, more choice sounds like good news for those who want to take the plunge into a brand new Caterham, or simply waste a little more time on the configurator. For those who don’t want to wait (and can do without painted headlights or the purple ones) can find a host of almost new Sevens in the classifieds: there’s the very first of 25 Encore limited editions, 2.0-litre cars from 360 to 420 Cup via 420R, and even an unregistered CSR. If the configurator is not distracting enough…
