Does anyone recognise this chassis design. I believe it's Rorty IRS at the rear, but front doesn't match the Ron Champion book measurements. Any ideas?

EDIT: changed my mind, looking at the back half it's not *that* like a Locost.

You got any clearer pics of the rear?

My first thought was westfield......

then i saw how the front vertical that holds the rear wishbone mount is welded and thought home made.

Mscorley plus 4 with IRS ? where do the dimensions differ ?

I'll try to get some picture of rear. The chassis is about an inch narrower, top and bottom at the front.

It looks a lot like MK, but theirs is bent around the top. Very similar though.

Silly question maybe.... where'd you get it from?

Can't you ask the seller?

The braces are similar, but it also looks like the Haynes Roadster. Hey, what do I know? It's a Locost...

possibly designed from the "Ron Champion" Locost, look at the engine support/braces G1 +G2, the way that they bend then go flush with the outer rails.
This is as is shown in the pictures in the book but NOT on the plans in the book.

My vote is on the Haynes roadster
