STORY

The Lotus Seven was a minimalist, lightweight two-seat sports car introduced by Colin Chapman in 1957, built around a simple tubular spaceframe with cycle-style or clamshell wings. It became an icon of affordable, back-to-basics driving and enjoyed great club-racing success. Lotus sold the rights in 1973, after which Caterham continued producing it as the Caterham Seven.
