I have always lusted after a particular supercar, but with it commanding prices of about £50,000 I could not see myself being able to afford one, and if I could, I probably wouldn’t be able to drive it anywhere! So when I have found that a Kit-car manufacturer was making a body replica, I wanted to know more, but being unhappy with the choice of donor, I set out to find a suitable chassis, but again, there was no choice, so I decided to start with a Locost based chassis, and evolve from there.

I was lucky enough to find a chassis for sale, complete except for the suspension mounting brackets, and at a very reasonable price, the seller even ‘throwing in’ a copy of Ron Champions book to boot!

The chassis will now be cut into 4 pieces in order to lengthen and widen the tub to suite my proposed body, the front suspension will be mounted further back on the body than a ‘real’ Locost, and the rear will be Sierra based IRS.
