Not very Locost!

This has got to be my all time favourite car and in my eyes absolutely beautiful.

Maybe a touch over priced for what they are but thats because they have everything (even steering racks) custom made.

Followed one into stonleigh this year and almost wet myself with excitement. Sounded gorgeous and even had a top gun style heat haze rising from the rear engine vents.

Dreams were shattered when the very nice gentleman let me have a sit in it. I'm an inch too tall to close the gull wing doors!!

Recently found out they do a special lowered floor pan for the taller gentleman so the dreams are back on line!

I want this one.

My dads old boss built one of those with a chevy 5.7 v8, it was a spider though. Cost £40,000 but he was very high up in Vodafone so it was nothing.

was this car damaged?If you enlarge the picture taken of the front of the car the bodywork isn't not exactly smooth or is is the quality of the picture?
