Looks like a potentially promising Locost rolling chassis project spotted for sale: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266723173760?itmmeta=01HS66KHW9MSB7H9KGB66DYTXB&hash=item3e19f0a580:g:6F4AAOSwndZl9bCh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwKo5mgX BApd%2BSS6YH2rjqPgMkTrOvuOWuPk6gbm7ptaz9g%2FhiUCf3b6pnMB1CkI1KGCr5TQz%2Fnd9YAEhregxhHKn0MmBbPyGgNQsdk1yE1iWVJ2mrQA9R3A%2BhvpYnB5dd0Q5B7uBBDKENQU%2FJhr Ntkps38dDeTFv1wsB%2Bk039D16l48bXJ0%2FEwToQmbXk6rstLcQk2wWr9KFrv0bBamvluO%2BXah792bdEWkXZqa1Q0M5WZLMvy2fhJXdK2SXugc4yg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6aezsbJYw

Wait! We've just got to park it on top of this pushbike to really enhance the looks 1/10 for effort.

Don't forget the rusty sheet of metal and what looks to be a baby bouncer... it's quite clearly straight out of a barn if there's at least three other bits of random tat!

To be honest I'm more curious as to what the reserve is. While the suspension, brakes, wheels, maybe the engine might have some decent value even if the chassis is rusted to mush, I still wonder what they're expecting. I saw a mostly completed Haynes go for £400 very recently, whereas this is a lot more suspect.

Not for me.

It highlights what I try and impress upon my kids when selling on Ebay and online (with photos).

1. Clean it up
2. Organise it
3. Photograph it well
4. Describe it well

Entice and encourage potential buyers, don't do anything to put them off!
