The Lotus Seven is a sports car produced by the British manufacturer Lotus Cars (initially called Lotus Engineering) [2] between 1957 and 1973. The Seven is an open-wheel car with two seats and an open top.

Open-wheel cars contrast with street cars, sports cars, stock cars, and touring cars, which have their wheels below the body or inside fenders. Open-wheel cars are built both for road racing and oval track racing.
The car consists of a fibreglass body mounted on an un-modified Citroën 2CV or Dyane floorpan and engine. Later a steel tube chassis was introduced. A Lomax is usually an open two-seat roadster.
