Justin Gardiner, brand manager of Caterham Cars Japan for S-Eye Co., Ltd., said the firm has sold the 100 cars allocated to the country for 2017, meeting the entire sales quota for the year, Forbes reported on 17 January.
One fifth of Caterham’s global production is allocated for sale in Japan. In 2017, this included 60 of the 60th anniversary models of the Caterham 7, all of which were sold within the first two weeks of January this year.
Caterham’s cars are classed as keijidosha, or light automobiles, giving them access to special tax advantages.
