Looks like Mk1 fiesta

Chap I used to work with had a white one. Seem to remember the finish of the panels left a bit
to be desired.
He liked it though.

More like the bastard offspring of a Mk3 Escort and a Volvo 340.

Neither of which are worth emulating.

yep deffo looks like a shrunk mk3 escort from the side

I note that it is descibed as "....correctly registered with the DVLA...", and yet he also comments that "..... it retains the reg of the mini it was built from." !!

If I were buying, I'd want to see all the letters from the DVLA, to back up that part of his description.

After passing SVA my Locost was allocated the donor Sierra number, nothing dodgy about it. The car was probably classed as rebodied.

Blimey!! Hadn't realised that they did that!! Bet they don't do it now. In fact, the local DVLA office made it clear that the donor reg would NOT be available.

Dick, I think every DVLA local orrofice is a law unto themselves. They do it the way they want to and wo betide anyone who questions this!!!

For some reason I quite like this mini based angular creation. Odd.
