In 1957, the Lotus Seven was presented to the Motor Show, embodying a fundamental truth espoused by Colin Chapman, Lotus's creator - speed comes from lack of weight and not necessarily from power. In this book, fully illustrated with photographs of the car in all its manifestations, Andrew Morland chronicles the development of this extraordinary kit car. By exploiting a legal loophole, it not only outperformed the mass-produced offerings, but also undercut them, and lived up to the idea that you didn't need lots of expensive power in order to have fun.
