Welcome to the forum
Aries motorsport have take over the Stuart Taylor 7 based on the Locost design. Stuart Taylor started making chassis of the Locost design for people who did not have the skills/tools/time to make their own. Locost was a different company but the Locost name came from a self build design featured in the book "Build your own sportscar for £250" by Ron Champion.
As regards your engine Andy at AB Performance would be the guy to speak to, from what I understand what he does not know about bike engined cars is not worth knowing. I am sure someone more knowledgeable than me will be along soon to give you some more info.
