Does anyone remember this debacle ?

Basically, this individual took shedloads of money in deposits for goods which were never ever delivered. I believe that at least one member of this forum was involved.

Anyway - guess who I was speaking to today at Kames circuit ?...........

None other than the elusive trevor.

I didn't let on that I knew who he was or his history, but it was definitely him - told me he was 'the man' when it came to locosts.

Anyone still looking to 'discuss' anything with him ?

The only bloke for Locost stuff in Scotland is Graeme Young at Deanfield Motorsport....good at what he does and a bloody good laugh too.

Yep - I know that, but Trevor took bucket loads of deposits from people far and wide, not just scotland. As I remember it there was at least one portugese victim of his unrealistic claims and promises.
This man took lots of money from people and just failed to deliver anything in return. I don't know whether or not he was well meaning and naive or just a good old fashioned rogue.

I remember now, wasn't it a blade engined locost ready to race for about Ł20 or summat daft like that?

zilspeed - 15/5/05 at 05:05 PM

It was a ready to race 'blade powered car for Ł5500.

Tad cheap no wonder he had people after them..

Surely it would cost more than 5,500 in parts to build one??? Ether incredibly cheap, poor quality, naive or good conman. Maybe all 4! I guess we all leave deposits often in blind faith. I visitted my suppliers premises before making selection but i bet a lot get cheque book out on the strength of a show visit.
This is a warning to us all. I hope he got his just deserves.

I ordered one! Thank god Barclaycard got my money back for me, imagine if people had paid cash!

I ordered one, too.

The guy owes me Ł2750 and that's not fun!
They continue on production, inclusively they wanted to make on 2007 a formula of their cars.

From Christmas I can't phone Trevor, as the phone is always busy.
Is there anyone from the neighborhoods that knows what happened?

Being in Portugal doesn't help to get info on them...
