Synopsis

Widely recognised as the standard work on the history of Caterham, covering all models from the original "Lotus Seven of 1957" and its Caterham derivative of 1973 to the latest Cosworth-powered Caterham CSR of 2005. "Caterham Sevens" is the story of a former Lotus dealer who saw the potential of a hand-built sportscar, which its creator, Lotus founder Colin Chapman, was about to discard. He bought its manufacturing rights and by developing ever more powerful versions over more than 30 years, turned Caterham into one of the world's most prolific and affordable sports-racing cars - highly successful on the track, and an enthusiastic driver's delight on the road.
