Really interesting, will have a close look later, first impressions are the 16" steering wheel!!!

Mine's the overall internal width of 37.5". They must have been skinnier in those days. The camber on those pram wheels looks opposite to modern thinking as well.

yours, Pete.

I like the top (hood). Not much for visibility, but looks the dog's dainties

I've got that tech drawing on large sheet,mines a bit different.
Might get it framed one day.

Do you really think you'll be finished for quarter past eight Steve? You should have the hood on for ten or eleven at that rate..

yours, Pete.

Hi

A mate of mine in the next village has owned one of these since the mid 70's.
Seats look a bit dirty and the wings have crazed, but it still looks super. It's had two engine rebuilds and a rewire. Needs an exhaust, thats my job in the spring.

I just wonder how many of us will own our Locost for this long?

I'll post a photo of it when I get a chance.
