That car is also shown on page 182 of Ron Champion's 2nd edition book, pictured at Stoneleigh which date it to pre 2000 when that book was published. I've seen it at a number of shows over the years as it was a regular attendee, being road registered and all that.

It's odd that the ebay advert says it needs an SVA test for road use. Its almost as if something else might be driving around on its V5 now.

It does say in the ebay ad it was trailered to shows so its possible it wasn't actually road registered?

Its wearing a tax disc in the Ron Champion book.

It also appears in a number of articles in the Locost Car Club newsletters from 2000-2001. At that time it was road registered. It was built by someone called Ray Hudson. It has his phone number too, it's a Chesterfield number.

Why the interest?
