Legendary British manufacturer Lotus produced the iconic Seven between 1957 and 1973, spanning four model Series and cementing this lightweight kit car in the public’s imagination. The Series II, announced in 1960, featured a redesigned frame, modified rear suspension, and smaller 13-inch wheels. Nose cowl and fenders were switched from aluminum to FRP, while Super 7 cars boasted higher-performance engines. Caterham took over production after Lotus ceased in 1973, and the car, now known as the Caterham Seven, continues to thrill enthusiasts today.
