I have been building a Locost seven here in Phoenix AZ since 2007. I saw one that is currently raced and decided that I had to have one. Not necessarily for racing but a street car with a roll bar. I bought Champion's book and went to work. I have collected and restored Triumphs for many years and wanted a higher performance car.
Having more time than money helped make the decision. My background in mechanical engineering has helped. I gathered up a lathe, Bridgeport mill, drill press, plasma cutter, MIG welder, and hand tools.
I have loaded pictures of the car and at the British car show Sunday last. I have an ignition problem that is keeping mr from starting it. Should get that solved shortly. I will post a video of the first drive. John
Hi there! do you still have your locost? I'm wondering If I could take a look at it if possible... I'm building one in Mexico, but I'm in Tucson until 03/05.. so I'd like to take a chance to see one in person while I'm in USA... thanks much!
