Hi everyone ! I am looking for a person or people with a completely finished and up and running ron champion locost. I would like to be able to have a look at one to see how parts were assembled and the lay out in the engine bay etc . You can t get accurate detail from just photos. i was planning to go to a locost meet but there doesn t appear to be much happening at the moment.I know its a bad time of the year for the weather.I have got the parts i need to start building this winter and hoped to start soon and hopefully have it ready for the summer.I would be very grateful if anybody could help me out. I live near York and wondered if there was anybody local.
dont get too hung up on just looking at a Locost they are all pretty much the same so it wouldnt matter if you looked at Robin hoods, MK Indy's, Mac 1 etc
Hi Nick, & welcome to the forum.
As you are not too far away, have a drive upto Hartlepool & pop in to see Saturn sports cars, tho the main focus of Saturn is the Haynes Roadster,
which uses the sierra as a donor & slightly different chassis dimensions from the Ron Champion chassis but should give you some insight to parts
layout etc.
cheers

There's a good finished one in Knaresborough - I'm sure the owner will be along soon to offer to let you see it
ive got two you can have a nosey at , im not far from you
"just looking at a Locost they are all pretty much the same so it wouldnt matter if you looked at Robin hoods, MK Indy's, Mac 1 etc
"
since when has a locost been similar to a robin hood ???
Since they started to make the Zero.........
You are more than welcome to see my McSorely +442 which is the same as a book except its 4" wider &longer and 2" higher.
Send me a u2u if you want to, however the engine bay is in bits at the mo as Im replacing the engine over the winter.
Cheers
Rich

Lol! Oh the naivety of youth!
I thought I'd be done in 6 months when I first cut metal. Couple of months later thought it'd be 18mths.
4 years later when I finished I knew how long these things *really* take!
