You will soon be able to build your own Caterham Seven in a whole new way after it was announced the iconic British sportscar is to be immortalised in LEGO kit form.

The concept of a LEGO Caterham Seven received the required 10,000 votes of support from fans for the LEGO Ideas Review team to give the green light to the kits, the pricing and colours for which will be announced ahead of retail launch later this year.

The LEGO Caterham Seven is the concept of Carl Greatrix, of whom LEGO’s Mike McCoy said: “Carl is known in the LEGO community for his photo-realistic models of cars, trains and aircraft. He’s perfectly captured the classic British sportscar in LEGO bricks and now you’ll be able to own one too.”

Caterham Chief Commercial Officer, David Ridley, said: “The LEGO Company is one of the most iconic toy brands in the world so to have our car recreated in the legendary bricks is an enormous honour.

“The great thing about LEGO toys is that they are timeless – it certainly isn’t just children who love it; we have a few of our team members who are avid fans despite being well into their 40s. If you know someone who has always wanted a Caterham Seven, you can now tell them you’re getting them one.”
