Description

By: Dennis Ortenburger . - Mercian Reprint of classic original

Low to the ground and satisfyingly noisy, the Lotus Seven comes as close to fulfilling the sports car fantasy as any vehicle before or since. Just how the legend grew and what the Seven is really all about are covered in irreverent detail by Dennis 0rtenburger in this 176-page book, supported by more than 200 photos and illustrations.

There is the story of how the Seven evolved from Colin Chapman's Mark 6 (complete with photos of the mysterious Edward Lewis Lotus Special), a definitive sorting of the four different series manufactured by Lotus, and up-to- date accounts of the current Caterham version and the "roomy," European-legal Seven built in the Netherlands by Joop Donkervoort. A comprehensive table summarizes all the models at a glance.

There are also stories of Sevens on the race track and Sevens in the repair shop, plus a look at some of the wacky variations on the Seven theme. Perhaps the nicest thing about the Seven story is the happy ending.  If Legend of the Lotus Seven should cause you to fall for the indisputable charms of this uncomfortable, unlovely, brazenly-fast sports car - and don't say you weren't warned - you can go right out today and build your own.

This is one fantasy that can be created in a wooden box and delivered to your door.
