A valuable resource for 'Seven' enthusiasts,..and a top read,
By
This review is from: Lotus Seven: Preparation, Restoration and Maintenance (Paperback)
Written by a Lotus insider, this is a premium reference for all with an interest in the legendary 'Seven'. Whether 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 Weale are a practical guide, a significant historical reference, and a thoroughly inspiring read.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 is reflected in the iconic status of this over-forty-year-old design which 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 restorers seeking original specification or buyers researching covenance. And the detail,...historical, technical and developmental, contained in these pages will provide ideas and priceless insight on components, materials and construction techniques for those ( I must plead guilty) copycats 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.)

The Bible for the Lotus 7 or Caterham owner.,
By Jim Huston - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lotus Seven: Preparation, Restoration and Maintenance (Paperback)
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!
