HI all,

still on the look out...

any views on this? thanks

2009 LOCOST Blue

Looks a bit rough to me, what exactly are you looking for ? Locost, MK ? budget?

Could be fine. Depends on the welding!

Guess it's been through SVA/IVA so should be fine. It's ok priced, needs a little tlc but looks like a good starter car

Pics tell lies

Only way to know what it's like is to view it in the flesh.

Certainly cheap for a complete ready to go car if it's been put together well

Doesn't look bad at all, but as already said you need to take a look at it in the flesh.
Reasonably priced but probably some scope for some money off for the body repairs. I'd go in at £3.5K

I did see it advertised when I was looking, although I think it was four and a half then, about 6 weeks back.

It's relatively close to me, so I was going to look at it, but then, I'm pretty sure it was classed in the ebay blurb as a Robin Hood, not that that's a bad thing necessarily, but something just didn't seem right.

He's added quite a bit to the description now and there are some strange bits in there, he says he'll take a part ex in the first bit, and then says he won't in the second bit ? Plus he's very particular about it being registered as a Locost.

Also, I'm never really sure about someone who uses their girlfriends ebay to list something, just sounds dodgy.

Might be OK, but I've been caught out a couple of times, so I'm more wary now.............

Having said all that, I bought what I thought was a good car, and now I'm finding all sorts of little niggles

I know he says off side rear arch needs repairing so it could be because of that but the off side rear wheel looks to be a funny angle. Seems strange all the arches need repairs. Looks a nice car, although I don't like the roll bar.

I noticed that! I could have sworn it was previously advertised as a Robin Hood..

In reply to previous question - im not after a make in particular, max budget of £4500ish.
Hoping to get a nice Tiger or Locost for that money. Something that will be fun n track days.

Based in Suffolk.

And thanks for the input, i think i will pass on this one. Seems a bit off.

It might just be the angle of the photos or maybe the car is sitting on a slope, but there seems to be quite a difference between the top of the rear wheels and the wheel arches when comparing near side to off side.

I guess that if it was a genuine problem though it would be a bit odd not to point it out in the add, as any inspection in person would spot it and walk away.
