Yes, as usual, you are absolutely right! ... That's exactly my point.
The SEVEN is, in fact, an anachronism ... a very special car in it's time.
Colin took the space frame idea and took it as far as he could.
When time and technology had passed the car by it (the SEVEN) was released into the careful hands of Caterham.
That's it!
But the SEVEN and TODAY? ... Somehow I can't quite wrap my head around a front engined, space framed, carbon bodied monocoque with downforce by way of skirts! ... It just doesn't work!
The SEVEN stands alone for what it was and still is!
The SEVEN is a movement, it's not just a car.
The SEVEN represents (for Seven Lover's everywhere ... Caterhams, Westies, Locosts and every other clone) a way to bring affordable racing enthusiasm to anybody who is willing to buy or build it!
