Assuming that my numbers come up on the Eurolotty tonight, can everyone help me spec up a money no object locost?

A R500 Caterham as a donor

Your own flippin island in dubai in the shape of a seven with that much money, could even have your own race track!

Rebuild an original Lotus Seven --- 1600BDA, Bullet box 165x13" tyres on real mag Minilites

id go for a very light, full bodied one with a bike derived v8, supercharged as well of course.

I might even buy a ticket tomorrow, which would be a first for me!

ah, maybe today even

I'd go for an R500 running gear, R500 chassis, R500 bodywork and to save a load of time, would probably get Caterham to bolt it all together for me.

I'd then build a Caterham Academy kit to pass the time while my R500 and Lambo Murcielago SV Roadster come out of the factories...

custom made carbon fibre everything!

carbon fibre mk bodywork,carbon diffuser, brakes&wheels...splitter, hayabusa engine (holeshot one with 700hp)...all the race preps...

I'd go for an LMP style car, but no roof.

With engine from Jag XF 3l diesel S

And I'd get Quaiffe/Hewland or similar to build me a sequential transaxxe for it

Performance and economy!

ultima spider


Guinness - 9/5/09 at 11:07 AM

Well, my numbers didn't come up, so it looks like I'll be sticking with the Indy, until next time!

Id start by binning the se7en and getting a radical/ ultima/ other aerodynamic mid engine lightweight car.

If my numbers came up id be building a turbocharged audi R8 for time attack

For a dream spec Locost, I'd keep what I had and fit an all alloy BDX, Quaife LSD axle and a new dash. (I'm easily pleased!!)
