Lotus and Caterham Seven racers for the road by John Tipler. The original Lotus Seven was the product of pure engineering genius. Forty years on, it continues to encapsulate the Lotus founder's ideals for an affordable sports racer: it makes few compromises, yet is equally at home on the road as on the track and it can be built by a mechanical novice. This book chronicles the saga of the Lotus Seven including the Series 2 and 3 during the 1960s - when it won fame in The Prisoner TV series. Caterham continues to build the Super Seven and John Tipler shows how the various structural components of the car are manufactured, and interviews key figures in the Seven's evolution. Chapters are; Humble beginnings Enter the Seven The odd man out The Caterham story Chassis manufacture Building the Seven Fibreglass paint and upholstery Driving the Seven Buying and selling Sevens in competition Not the key to the door Appendix comparative performance chart
