You might have seen the awesome Lego Caterham Sevens made by Carl Greatrix earlier in the year. Carl has just added these to the Lego Ideas Website. So if you want one, or just think Lego should make these into a real production set, just click the link and vote for them: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/87703




Lego have made several large car models (see http://brickset.com/sets/theme-Advanced-Models/sub... ) including a VW Beetle, VW Campervan and a classic Mini, if you think Carl's Lotus7/Caterham should join this group you just need to vote from the link above.

I think that image is a bit disappointing! but because I don't think it shows the car very well...

The Lego Set version would never be as detailed as Carl's original fine scale models, So I am really impressed at how close they have got.. I'm impressed they have kept the engine and removable bonnet and it seems to have great seats and a nice dash (which using lego angles is amazing!) personally I'll be putting the wheels on the other way around! so they look spokey. The only gripe I have is the colour, I liked the the blue & orange (true to 620R) and white & red colour schemes much better..

I'm really keen to see more images from the official launch rather than these odd low quality leaked images.
