Caterham Seven Lambretta Special Edition

Few icons are as quintessentially British as the Union Jack and the Caterham Seven. Originally engineered by Lotus, the 7 is still built by British sportscar-maker Caterham, and has now been outfitted for a special edition by British fashion house Lambretta.

The special Seven features a Union Jack motif, complemented inside by a red, white and blue color scheme. Power comes from a modest 1.6-liter Ford inline-four with 125 horsepower driving through a five-speed manual transmission. Which may not sound like much, but given the Caterham's low curb weight, it's still enough to drive it to 60 in six seconds flat.

The Caterham Seven Lambretta Special Edition sells in the UK for £26,995, equivalent to about $42k.

Lambretta Watches

Not pricey but definitely kicky, Lambretta watches take their inspiration from the mod stylings of the Lambretta scooter which was popular in the 1950s and 60s. They aren't making the scooters anymore but the legend lives on in watches that have a quirky design sense derived from that era. Some models will be on display at the 2006 BaselWorld watch fair. The watches are generally in the $100-$200 range and have stainless steel cases and rubber or leather bracelets. The Target model shown here sells for $145.
