Lotus buys caterham Back!!!
Unbelievable!
http://www.formula1.com/news/headlin...1/4/11970.html Except it's not really Lotus, it's the asian team using the Lotus name under license. Lotus-Renault are the actual lotus team. |
Would love to know how much they acquired it for......:D
|
I just hope it doesn't go the same way as tvr did
|
Maybe it has something to do with this?
http://www.diseno-art.com/encycloped...tus_new_7.html And as they didn't own the rights to the Seven name, but they do now, well you just never know ;) TK |
Funky sevenish...:cool:
|
looks interesting some decent touches don't like the front lights though.
Its the wrong lotus though. Team Lotus bought Caterham Group Lotus who make the cars (elise etc) dont' have the rights to the seven name. |
TVR coming back apparantly..
Nikolia is going to build to order the old models. No big production line. Not sure how, who or how much but I think we may see TVR;s roll again. They will have lost their UK blackpoolness which is shame though |

i meant the link and post by trick kit post.
Group Lotus still doesn't own the right to the 7. Its all very confusing |

As far as owning the number "7". My Mini wasn't called a Mini when it was built in 1961. It was an Austin 7 850. There were Austin 7's long before there were Lotus 7's. I don't think you can copyright a number. |
caterham own the use of the number 7 and seven even clubman when used to describe cars like the lotus 7...They take people to court for using it;)
|
As do Poor Joe (Peugeot)for their use of the "0" :rolleyes:

How come at Soneleigh, all the cars on the Lotus 7 owners club pitch were caterhams? Should it not be the Caterham 7-ish Clubman-type-sportscar owners club?
Even more confusion. My car is part Locost, part Haynes Roadster, part my own design, what the H should I call it? A Roadcost? A Locster, or oven a Haynes Roa-Lo-Cost-der!!! Ha ha! How many people could sue me for using all that lot? :D |
