This book covers the history of virtually every commercial builder of Lotus Sevens and replicas. It focuses not only on their commercial histories though - it also highlights the technology that each builder (and, in some cases, parts suppliers) has brought to the forum. It is well written, easy to read, and well illustrated with tons of photographs. If you're building or buying a 7 or replica, read this book first. I'm building one, have been researching the build on and off for over 30 years, and I still learned a great deal from Dennis' book.

This is a wonderful book for anyone interested in the Lotus seven type cars. Dennis has done a great job in describing most (if not all) manufacturers of the seven copies. This is one of my favorite books with lots of great pictures. Highly recommended.

The book has an excellent presentation, photos are really good and the text is superb. If you own any Super 7, Lotus or continuation models, you will be thrilled by the way many people all over the world took this excellent automobile as a model for their desire to own what Classisc Cars stated "Is this (the Super 7) the Best Sports Car EVER?" in their October 2007 cover, and I will say that this book is the best insight of that Best Car.
