Can someone have a look at this locost on ebay item number 250575010706 and tell me its not a dutton the guy is trying to sell it as a locost does that not go down as listed incorect!
I have a dutton on the drive and a locost in the garage and that looks more like a dutton then a locost!

Looks like a TJ Locust/white rose locust to me with cortina front suspension and ply wood paneling.

The plywood-looking interior and apparent lack of any chassis rails above the bottom of the engine bay do look more like a Dutton than a Locost.

Interesting that he bored a 16 litre engine down to 1760cc

btw, have a linky on me

Yes, Locust. But, put together properly they are OK.
