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.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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

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.
