Caterham 7

The Caterham Seven (Caterham 7) is the successor to the Lotus Seven. After Lotus ended production of the Seven in 1972, Caterham bought the rights to it, and today make both kits and fully assembled cars. 2007 marks the 50th year of production of the Lotus/Caterham 7.

The Caterham Seven is a small, lightweight, two-seater sports car renowned for its performance and handling. Various other manufacturers offer a similar lightweight, minimalist package in a seven-esque shape, but Caterham own various legal rights around the design, manufacturer and name of the original car and have taken legal action in the past in order to protect those rights. The modern Seven is based on the Series 3 Lotus Seven, though Caterham have developed it to the point that no part is the same as on the original Lotus.
