Or an 8R2 as they have a v8 and are only rear wheel drive.
Still look great though!

I don't know who this guy is but he seems to be pretty ropey in my opinion...
Check the pictures on all the listings... Can you see one single thing he has finished??? All the photos of cars are taken from other sites...
Also have a look at his feedback.
Cheers

He does locost bits aswelll. Look at his other items he does an IRS thingy for the locost chassis.
Looks a beast,

this line in the listing makes me wonder......
"Do not take the price advertised as the real price."
????????

Any one who deals with this guy has to be stupid
Quotes from his listings
"Paypal is the only way to go, if i get a cheque in the post, i will scan it and post it on ebay for sale.
Anyone with a basic know how of engineering (and i mean basic, a know children who have built this car), can do this.
I have had a lot of people asking me where i get all my info from.
I have searched the internet, books, workshops, liberys, peoples lofts and everywhere else possible, to find out as much as possible.
I have also made many of these cars, from the book and experimenting with other parts / designes at my own expense.
All in all, i can tell you pretty much anything you want to know about these cars.
I build them and sell them for £450, but i have built that many i don't want to build them anymore."
If he has built so many of these chassis how come no one has ever heard of him?
Scary....

Look at his previous auctions - especially the le mans racer business he was selling........
well ....... not exactly a business, more a pipe dream and a partly completed chassis. Ok, i think he claimed complete but it had from what i could
see zero triangulation.
personally, i'll be stearing a WIDE berth.

I wonder if he missed the other "O" out the name of his company 
Also if someone does a BIN on what is just a price list (but at £6500) won't he pay final value fees on £6500!

did you also read
"Locost, lotus 7 chassis plans.
As "the book", but with the corrections, as the book was wrong. ( How can a secretary typing up an engineers notes be expected to get the
sizes right?)
Everything is there.
Two types available, normal and 4" wider (for the larger of us) or for those who like space / want to put a lot of interior paneling
in."
any one like to bet that they are based on the mcsorley plans
