The story of the Lotus company is inextricably linked with one of the most innovative names in motoring history - Colin Chapman. Chapman founded the company in 1948 and the famous green and yellow badge came to symbolise a forward-thinking car manufacturer with a rich and exciting history. The Lotus Story Volume One takes you from the birth of the company to the rise to GP racing in the late Fifties. A rare interview with Chapman's wife Hazel illustrates her immense contribution and sheds light on a man whose genius covered over three decades of GP success.
