Graham Nearn collection

[JohnCh]

Although Graham Nearn, the founder of Caterham, passed away almost 15 years ago, three cars from his estate are going up for auction in the UK.  I loved to see that he clearly had a love for the seven's roots.  Click the model name to go to that specific auction page with more photos:

 

1952 Lotus MkVI Prototype

1953 Lotus MkVI 'Works Demonstrator'

 

1960 Lotus 7 Series 1

This is a really cool look at some early cars, even if I'm in no position to buy (to put it mildly). Thanks for posting

This was displayed in the British Motor Heritage Museum at one point.  Gorgeous thing.

In 2010, I saw this car displayed in the Caterham showroom in Caterham, when they were still using the original facility.
