The Tamiya 1/24 scale Lotus Super 7 Series II model kit captures the essence of one of the most beloved lightweight British sports cars. Originally introduced in 1957 and later produced by Caterham, the Super 7’s minimalist design and exhilarating driving experience made it a favorite among DIY builders and motorsport enthusiasts alike. This kit focuses on the Series II variant — equipped with a 1.3-liter Ford Cosworth engine — capable of reaching speeds over 160km/h.
The model includes a detailed recreation of the Ford Cosworth engine, visible under the functional opening hood. Rack-and-pinion steering, drum brakes, and the Super 7’s signature body shape are represented with precision, offering a rewarding build experience that echoes the car's DIY heritage.
Builders can choose to assemble the kit as either a road-going version or a Clubman racer, thanks to the inclusion of racing screens and roll bar components. Redesigned decals and seatbelt stickers further elevate display realism, while the updated white C parts simplify painting and finishing.
This model is a fitting tribute to the ingenuity of post-war British motoring. With its compact dimensions and open-wheel profile, the Lotus Super 7 remains a nostalgic centerpiece for vintage car modelers and fans of race-bred engineering simplicity.
Tamiya's Lotus Super 7 Series II kit delivers historical authenticity and builder engagement in a compact, lightweight package. A true classic in scale.
