Celebrating the timeless elegance and performance of classic British automobiles, with a special focus on the legendary Lotus Super Seven.
Welcome to Racing Green, a passionate tribute to the timeless charm and engineering excellence of vintage and classic British automobiles. Our website is born from a deep appreciation for these automotive masterpieces, with a special focus on the legendary Lotus Super Seven.
The iconic British Racing Green color that inspired our name has a rich history dating back to the early days of motorsport. When international auto racing began in the early 1900s, each country was assigned a color. Great Britain was given the now-famous green, which became synonymous with British racing excellence and heritage.
Whether you're a dedicated enthusiast, a casual admirer, or simply curious about these mechanical works of art, we invite you to explore our galleries, dive into the fascinating histories, and connect with the enduring legacy of British automotive design and innovation.
First introduced in 1957, the Lotus Seven is a small, simple, lightweight two-seater open-top sports car designed by Colin Chapman and built by Lotus Cars. The original model was highly successful, with more than 2,500 cars sold during its production.
The design philosophy was "simplify, then add lightness" – a mantra that resulted in a car weighing just 500kg. This minimalist approach created a pure driving experience that enthusiasts still celebrate today.
