Caterham Seven Harrods Special Edition
Nowadays, customization programs are a must among
exclusive car makers, and Caterham announced theirs with a special edition
Seven designed by Harrods.
Known simply as the Harrods Special Edition, the
automobile features special elements which highlight the array of customizable
options available for Caterham buyers. Underpinned by a 420S variant, which
boasts 210 hp from a 2.0-litre Ford engine, the vehicle wears a “Harrods green”
paint job, complemented by custom white stripes and a gold pinstripe. The
attention to detail doesn’t stop on the surface, as the car also features a
gold powder-coated chassis.
The interior was also bedizened with exquisite
goodies, including butterscotch leather upholstery (which reflects Harrods’
color scheme), and embroidered logos on the seats. Caterham says the car’s
styling was created in conjunction with the clothing designer and buyers can
pick one up in store along with their fashion and luxury items. Which brings us
to the price of this particular example: £ 59,999 (US$ 74,137).
A bit steep, considering that a normal 420 starts
from £ 26,995 (albeit it comes disassembled and without a windscreen) but it’s
refreshing to see Caterham pushing their products out of their comfort zone and
offering a more luxurious approach.
