Inhaltsangabe:

There is no other car like the Magnificent 7. Pure, simple and raw, it is the ultimate sports car. The 7 inspires emotion, devotion, loyalty and appreciation for how it delivers the essence of what a sports car can be. Road testers exhaust superlatives, first-timers wear fixed grins, long-time owners share stories of great drives and unlike other sports cars, there is no pretence to the 7: it is not exclusive, rarefied, flash or snobby, but accessible, honest and true to an ideal. This book presents the full story of each and every derivative of Lotus and Caterham 7, from Colin Chapman’s 1957 Lotus 7 Series 1 to the today’s ultra-high-performance Caterhams. There are dozens of variants in all. Each gets its own full description, with full coverage of its strengths and weaknesses, driving impressions, technical specifications, performance figures, production numbers and identification features. Copious illustrations provide a visual feast and a full account of the 7 in all its forms. The Fourth Edition brings the story up to date, including such models as the 160, 620 and Supersprint, as well as the story of Caterham’s stillborn C120 and numerous prototypes. It’s the inside story of the 7 for real enthusiasts.
