Hi Tony

Have a look in clubs and events, the Oxfordshire locosters generally meet up once a month.

Hi tony
Welcome to the site
I'm just out side Banbury, Mine will hopefully be on the road next month.
I havent seen any others in banbury yet Just a few driving through, So like bob said the oxfordshire one would be the best bet.
I didnt build mine just the finishing touches but id be glad to help out if you need an extra pair of hands at anytime.

Welcome to the mad house.

The Oxford group tend to meet up once a month, I'm down the road at Brize Norton.

I'm currently helping a mate build his Haynes Roadster racecar for next season, it'll run a Afla V6. Have a look in my photo archive under MD7.

Hi there

I'm based in Chipping Norton. Built an MK that was featured in complete Kit Car, then rebuilt a Westfield, now on to a Caterham, just fitted a mega squirt, cams and throttle bodies.
