FS: Locust 1600 XFlow

The time has come for me to part with my Locost. I have loved owning it and it's great fun to drive however relocation and other projects force the sale.

£3750 (includes 12 months MOT and 6 months tax)

- Mk2 Escort running gear
- 1600 XFlow engine
- new master-cylinder (Summer 2010)
- Webber twin-choke DCOE 40 carb
- Head skimmed and rebuilt (Winter 2010)
- Rewired from scratch with custom loom (Summer 2010)
- 17" alloys and new tyres
- New body and respray by previous owner (also includes what's left of the paint for repairs if necessary)
- No windscreen but perspex screen included
- Lightweight fiberglass bucket seats
- Stainless side exit exhaust
- First registered 1998
- Currently SORN for the winter

I'm based in the Southampton area and happy to meet up for viewings etc.










Reply or PM me for more details (I'll try and answer any questions about the car as part of this thread so everyone can see).

Locust uses a complete Cortina front suspension rather than wishbones and I believe it uses a wooden chassis? Locost uses a spaceframe chassis with fabricated wishbones and coilover shocks

In which case, yes it's a Locust with ladder chassis and Cortina uprights.
