THE CATERHAM Seven 310 Encore

One last time. It’s the Encore

For more than 50 years, Ford’s naturally aspirated, small-capacity engine has played a pivotal role in our story.

Hidden away at HQ, only twenty-five engines remained, ready for one last grand finale. 310 Encore is the ultimate embodiment of the 1.6 Sigma powered Seven.

Available in standard and large charge chassis, 310 Encore feature six exclusive special edition colour schemes with unique stripes, a raft of interior updates and individually numbered plaques.
