	'''~~Introduction~~'''		'''Lotus Mark IV''' was a trials car by [[Colin Chapman]] built on a [[Austin 7]] chassis. Chapman’s success at building trials cars brought another previous customer, Mike Lawson, to order a second trials car in 1952 to replace his [[Lotus Mark II]], in which he won the Wrotham Cup. Once again Chapman chose an Austin Seven as the starting point, reinforcing the frame and installing a four-[[Cylinder (engine)\|cylinder]] 1172cc (71.5ci) [[Ford]] [[sidevalve]] engine. Chapman used all the tricks he had learned in his previous cars, constructing a lightweight aluminum body with a rounded nosecone. He fitted a 3-speed transmission taken from a [[Ford 8]] and the divided front axle as on his previous cars.

			Lawson won his class in the very first attempt in this car, following up with others, solidifying Chapman’s reputation as a designer and engineer. The success of this car, and other requests for more cars, led Chapman and Michael Allen to establish Lotus Engineering in a disused stable in Hornsey.<ref>Setright, L.J.K, "Lotus: The golden mean", in Northey, Tom, ed.
