ready for under £17,000 (€19,900 or $26,000) before the end of the year. Caterham says the new car will be lighter and offer an EU6 emissions-compliant engine with better fuel efficiency.

The new entry-level model does not yet have a name but will launch this autumn with deliveries starting before the end of the year.

“As we celebrate our 40th anniversary at Caterham, it feels good to be taking the brand right back to where it started. Colin Chapman designed the original Seven to be entirely ‘fit-for-purpose’ – a racing car for the road with the driving experience at its heart.

“With that in mind, the new entry-level Seven will be uncomplicated, easy to run and, most important of all, an intuitive and exciting drive," said Caterham CEO Graham MacDonald.
