"HWM was founded in 1938 and built a reputation in the early post-war years as a determined independent racing constructor. Its most famous machine was the 1951 HWM-Alta single-seater, which achieved several international race victories and podium finishes during an era dominated by far larger teams."
"By creating the Seven HWM Edition, Caterham and HWM are celebrating that underdog spirit and the shared heritage of two British brands deeply rooted in racing culture."
"Only 19 examples will be produced for the UK market, mirroring the exclusivity of historic racing specials and emphasizing the handcrafted nature of Caterham's vehicles. Each car is finished in a distinctive HWM Green paint, a color digitally matched to the original 1951 race car."
Caterham has unveiled the Seven HWM Edition, a special variant honoring Hersham and Walton Motors, a historic British racing team founded in 1938. HWM gained prominence in the early post-war years as an independent racing constructor, with its 1951 HWM-Alta single-seater achieving international race victories and providing Sir Stirling Moss an early Formula 1 opportunity. Only 19 examples will be produced for the UK market, each finished in distinctive HWM Green paint digitally matched to the original 1951 racer. The car features Alta-inspired design elements including side panel louvres, a bespoke nosecone grille, and suspension components finished in Retro Grey, along with a centrally mounted chrome fuel filler cap and special HWM Caterham nosecone badge.
