Locost Race Car including trailer [SOLD PP]
82 Locost - 19/7/11 at 12:05 PM

After a couple of years not being able to compete in the Locost series due to other commitments (including 6 months in Afghanistan!) I have come the the decision to sell my Locost Race Car.

It was built as a sister car to Vicky Pickle's current race car and was previously raced by Dan Stevens, finishing 3rd in the series in 2003 with several wins that season. Dan sold up and moved on to Seat Cupras. The car was last raced in 2008 and complies with all regulations up until then, but will need to be modified to meet the latest regulations.

MK chassis
Brian Randall engine (then refreshed by me each year)
Bolt-on roll cage
4 speed Escort/Cortina gearbox with 3.9 and 4.1 diffs
Tony Law 4-1 exhaist manifold and re-packable exhaust
AVO adjustable shocks
Glass-fibre seat, recent harness (make TBD)
Plumbed-in fire extinguisher (will need to be refilled)
Alloy fuel tank
Beztek Electronic ignition
A selection of spares (TBC once I've done an inventory)

The car is currently 10 miles North of York (postcodse YO30 2AA)

The trailer is a converted caravan chassis (incl brakes) with a winch and wheel rack. Not the best trailer in the world, but I've towed the Locost all over the country with it and it does the job well.

From memory they are quite minor. The towing eyes may need to be changed and the rocker cover needs to have additional securing. Unfortunately the 750MC website only shows 2011 regs (with changed highlighted in red). I'll get in touch with them to try to get the 2009 and 2010 regs.

  1. Towng eyes as stated
  2. Harness needs to be in date
  3. Extinguisher will need to be serviced as stated - almost as cheap to buy new
  4. Fuel hose to carb connection needs to be screw-on type

I can't see it needing much else.
