Hi all,

My Locost is back up for sale.

I've recently carried out a full rebuild on the engine and am still part way through running it in. I rebuilt it as it was smoking due to a cracked valve guide.

The parts from SBD and oil from Oilman alone cost me £800 and thats not including any labour that is just parts.

There is about 4 months mot and 4 months tax remaining... It has 3 previous keepers, 2 were brothers.

There is a big build folder full of photos from the original build in 04 and I took pics of the engine build.

[U]Spec:[/U]

- Built, SVA'd & registered in 2004
- Rebuilt XE on Weber 40 carbs
- Type 9 ford box
- Atlas Axle
- HR 15" alloys and brand new Toyo proxies T1r (done 250 miles)
- Slimline seats
- Harnesses
- Oil Cooler
- Electric fan
- Full electric gauges, replaced some with new Racetechs
- Freshly powdercoated Cam and timing belt covers
- Hydraulic clutch conversion
- 4-1 Side exit exhaust
- Coilovers

Even while running in you can feel the torque, with a set of 45's this should see circa 190-200bhp

I'm asking £4250 or near offers for it, I will PX depends a normal road car I can put my kids into and also MUST have a roof and be able to park it on a road overnight.

The main bad point about this car is the wiring is a bit messy, it all works as it should but it needs tidying however I did a lot of the engine side during the rebuild.

Thanks for looking, Yodi
