Top Customer Reviews

By Ian Carter on October 30, 2000
Written by a Lotus insider, this is a premium reference for all with an interest in the legendary 'Seven'.
Whether for owner, restorer, intending buyer, dreamer or (purists may suppress a shudder here) replica builder, the comprehensive text and informative illustrations presented by Mr. Weale are a practical guide, a significant historical reference, and a thoroughly inspiring read.

The Lotus Seven was a unique concept. Starkly functional, but with style; designed by Colin Chapman to provide an affordable, high performance sports car that could be assembled, maintained and raced competitively by an enthusiastic amateur.
The outstanding success of his radical approach to automotive engineering and design is reflected in the iconic status of this over-forty-year-old design that is still in production by Caterham Cars. (and being copied in backyard sheds all over the world, such is its' universal appeal.)

This book will be invaluable to owners who like to ensure their treasured Seven receives the maintenance a classic deserves, restorers seeking original specification or buyers researching covenance. The historical, technical and developmental detail contained in these pages will provide inspiration and priceless insight on components, materials and construction techniques for (I must plead guilty) imitators of Mr. Chapmans' magnificent design.
A highly recommended addition to your library.
(I must buy another copy for guests, my current one is much used and victim of the oily hand.)

This is by far the best book to have for a Lotus Seven through Type Four and the Caterham. It is very through and well written. It covers the history of the Seven. It also give you very complete mechanical description of the different facets of the car. Everyone that has a Seven should own this book. It is out of print so get it where you can. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy your Seven!
