FS: High spec. Locost 2.1 Pinto
I am selling my Locost as since finishing its rebuild I havent used it anything like as much as I should have. I bought it September 2008 as a part
rebuilt project. The rebuild included an engine change (CVH Pinto), new suspension, new brakes, new LSD, new interior, complete rewire and various
bits of bodywork. The V5 has been updated with the new engine size. The car was built and SVAd in 2001, it is on a Q plate and due to the age of
engine only needs a visible smoke test at MoT time.
The MoT runs to May 2011 and the tax to the end of April 2011. The car has 2 previous owners, the original builder and one other who drove it briefly
before starting the rebuild. I have a file full of receipts and instructions, and loads of photos, the megajolt maps etc. which I will put on DVD.

Lots of money spent and I really enjoyed rebuilding it, but I haven't had the time to use it and I'm in the process buying a house that
doesnt have a garage.

Thanks guys, it is a lovely looking car, unfortunately it isn't really the time of year to be selling. I'd love to hang onto it until
spring and sell it then when the market is better, but unfortunately I need the money for the house.
Yes it is a flying fifteen in the background, its my Dad's.
