The Magnificent 7: The Enthusiasts' Guide to All Models of Lotus and Caterham 7

Conceived by Colin Chapman, the Seven started life as a Lotus in 1957, and in 1973 the manufacturing rights transferred to Graham Nearn's Caterham, which has made a commercial success of the venture ever since. The 'Seven' is enduringly popular, offering a uniquely raw and exhilarating road-driving experience, and has spawned many lookalikes, replicas and kit cars. This new edition is updated with 24 extra pages to cover the seven years' worth of new variants of Caterham Seven released since publication of the second edition in May 2007.
