Locost
Just testing the waters here.
She he must be obeyed wont let me build a car from scratch. Fair enough, we have a small garage and she has the silly idea of parking a car in there.
So what im looking for is a locost of some description. I have £2,5k in my pocket (not at this very second btw, id get chucked off site with that
amount of cash in my pocket!) to buy a car.
I know i know, im not gunna get a minter, infact i doubt i will get a car with an mot or tax for that price! So im looking for anything within that
price range which wouldnt take much or long to get it on the road. Preferably with in SVA, but tax and mot isnt a problem
U2U me or post here if you have anything what could help,
Cheers

Hi Tim,
For that kind of money I'd look for a nearly finshed project that you can complete and SVA. The SVA is not as bigger hurdle as you might think
- I actually enjoyed mine 
Have a look in the kit car mags and on this site http://www.unfinishedproject.co.uk/ for abandoned
projects.

Plenty of cars are sold 90% complete, usually for less than the sum of the cost of the parts. Look here, or on eBay, or in kit car magazines.

You can have my Son's Jago Geep for £500.
Complete, and registered.
Needs new windscreen, or turning over as there is a dink in the drivers area. Hence no Mot.
Good Soft Top
Good Floor (floor is a weak spot on Jago's).
Two Hard doors that need fitting.
1600 Xflow Engine and Box.
Good tyres
4 Seats.
Generally in reasonable condition. But really needs a good tidy up.
Starts and runs fine.
Brakes all overhauled, last year.
He is at uni and cant afford to insure it, let alone run it. So it has to go.
I am now Running for the Door, and Ducking at the same time, after admitting we have one of these on the premises
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
Geoff

Nearly finished Luego Locost for sale
Luego Locost 13.00cc xflow engine (professionally rebuilt)
Factory built and almost complete, as featured in practical performance magazine build car feature.
This car really is a gorgeous looking car, and has been professionally built by Luego in 2005.
Due to work commitments and other hobbies I now don't have the time to finish it.
It is probably the highest spec locost you are likely to see and is so close to being on the road, I would estimate a good couple of weekends would
see it ready for SVA.
So if your looking to build and get one on the road for this summer, this is the project for you.
All you will really need to add to what is supplied is a prop shaft, seats and runners & harnesses & fuel tank.
Just to give you an idea of what a bargain your getting a comprehensive kit from Luego would cost £3995+Vat, that's without wheels and shiny
accesories and carbon fibre bits and obviously alot of labour has gone into the build
Grey GRP
carbon fibre front and rear wings, red piping around rear arches and dash.
Chrome front top and bottom wishbones, carbon fibre dash Etb instruments white with red needles.
Polished Stainless grille
Mirror side panels and stoneguards
Black powdercoated chassis, panard rod and trailing arms
Live axle (painted) with rear disc conversion
Chrome roll bar
Carbon effect mirrors
Full set of lights
Wiring 99% done
Red Vynnl to do the interior
floor mounted pedal box with bias bar & master cylinders
Steering rack mk2 escort
Cortina front uprights (new bearings)
Carpet
red vynnl handbrake and gear gater
Stainless parcel shelf (needs finishing but is started)
Full set of superlite wheels and yokohama tyres
Full polished stainless steel balanced exhaust system
Email for pics or look in the Luego section, for the nearly finished Luego Locost it's on page 3 at the moment, or look at my photo archive and
you'll see her in all her beauty.
Regards
Kaz
