Unfinished Project.....

Hi i am regretably selling my Blackbird engine Locost project due to unforseen cercumstance. I have been building this for the past year and have spent quite alot of time and money on this. Alot of the parts are there just needs assembling and a few thing to finish off. There are photos of parts in my archive. The back of the frame has been converted to take independent suspension set up as i didnt want the normal live axle setup. The frame has just been painted aswell ready for assembly. The engine and running gear is all there and in good working order also comes with keys and ignition. As you can see in the photos the cradle to put it into the frame is there and attached and there is a baffle plate also. The diff is a 3.38 and has the custom propshaft and adapters to fit. The manifold is a genuine megabird manifold from westfield. There will be other bits with the build that arent pictured which i will include. This would be a great project for someone to finish off and i am sad to see it go as i have spent alot of time and effort getting things made and right for the car.

I am after around £2500 for the lot. It has cost me alot more to get up to this stage.

Any questions or enquiries please feel free to ask. Thanks

Pics in photo archive.

So it is incorrectly registered and will need IVA then.

..and on a positive note. The parts alone are worth what the OP is asking.
Beardmore it may be worth putting it on Ebay I am sure you will get a better price for it there than you are here by the look of the previous posts.

It would be interesting to know if the stalwarts of the Dutton owners club have actually managed to have any 'rebuilt' cars taken off the road or whether this is an urban myth ?

They certainly have, the owners club are very proactive about this and have a direct contact at the DVLA for dealing with these ringers. Some of the registrations even get reunited with the original car if they know where it has come from.

I know from first hand experience that once the right person at DVLA get hold of the information, they will use whatever agencies they can to stop this type of ringing! Some may recall a post involving members on here who were selling an MK that had the V5 off one of my cars. I'd bought the car without the V5 but had plenty of photos of it at various shows and it was a feature car in a couple of the Kit car mags. I had a visit from the DVLA and the police who looked at my car, the folder full of pictures and the kit magazines. They also took copies of the Ebay listings that I'd saved showing my kit car with the V5 then a few weeks later, without it. I also had the Ebay listing of the ringed car. I got the correct V5 and the other guys got a criminal record.
The DVLA lady who attended said that they had plans to link the MoT test to images verified by owners clubs to stop such ringing but it was at a time when DVLA had spent millions on a new computer system that had gone wrong so needed a few more million to fix it!!
Another car I bought without a V5 had been ringed in Belgium. They UK guy who sold the V5 to the Belgian got an 18 month suspended sentence!

Ok thanks. I didnt know that this was the case with the log book. I got it with the car when i bought it initially. But now i do know i will certinally not be selling it with it. I will try and sell it to a dutton owner if they can use it to put one of them back on the road.

That would still be illegal.





I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

^^ what he said - the V5 can only be used with the chassis it was issued for


if that chassis has been scrapped then the V5 is also scrap
