and is perhaps the simplest and most elemental of sportscars.
Between its introduction in 1957 and end of production in 1972,
about 2,500 Super Sevens were made. Conceived in 1957 as a very
low-budget club-racer, the Lotus Seven, with a front-mounted engine
driving the rear wheels and a very lightweight steel spaceframe,
was covered with unstressed aluminium panel bodywork like an early
aeroplane. It was designed by Lotus founder Colin Chapman, (who had
designed six other Lotus's; this vehicle being his seventh), and
has been considered the embodiment of the Lotus philosophy of
performance through low weight and simplicity.The original model
was highly successful due to its attraction as a road legal car
that could be used as a very low-budget club-racer, it found a home
racing on the decommissioned WWII runways of England. Part of the
vehicle's success was its light-weight construction and powerful
engines resulting in great performance, handling, and response
times. It went from zero to sixty in around 5 seconds and had a top
speed of about 100 miles per hour. Chapman used to refer to the
vehicle as a 'four wheeled motorbike'. After Lotus ended production
of the Seven, Caterham bought the rights and today Caterham make
both kits and fully assembled cars based on the original design.For
