Both cars have Lotus History. They are the only two companies that have the right to produce a car that looks like the original 7.
Lotus sold the rights to the Seven to Caterham in 1973...but only the Series 4 car. In an error they did not sell the rights to the Series 3 car until it came into question some time in the 80's.
In the early 80's Birkin bought the rights I think...now I think....after Colin passed, from the Chapman family.
While the Caterham has been the better and more developed car over the years, (in my opinion) the Birkin made a HUGE jump this year with the introduction of the IRS car. It is really something....and like half the price of a Caterham. I am working with Dick down in Texas. He is the Birkin Dist.
If I had not bought back my Caterham in August....I would have bought a Birkin.
