Caterham and F1

McLaren’s Neil Oatley is a source of motorsport minutiae and he has tracked down a most unusual story linked to Caterham, Lotus and Formula 1. Caterham was established to sell the Lotus 7, the manufacturing rights of which were acquired by Caterham founder Graham Nearn. The Caterham Super 7 was a derivative of the original Lotus 7 and that car remains the mainstay of the company to this day. What is not widely known is that a Lotus 7 took part in a Formula 1 race in South Africa in December 1962.
