Body styles

Hi gents,
what options have I got to plonk on a locost chassis - I'm sort of toying with the idea of a morgan lookalike - anybody know where suitable fibreglass panels could be sought?
Cheers

Steve Gusterson is doing a Morgan lookalike and is making his own body panels....

I'm certainly no expert but that either means there's nothing on the market or he's a tightarse.

I don't know him that well, but it could well be him being tight....

Over to you Gusterwotsit....

thanks for the most kindly intro hairy git.


There only seems to be one morgan repro on the market. (if you ignore Marlin, thats not a lot like a morgan, but moreso than a locost!).

Thats the Tiger cant-remember-name.

When I rang tiger, I got told that they dont sell anything unless you have their car or kit.

So, you are basically on yer own.

If you want to contact me directly to find out how far im thro, what to do and avoid, and see pics of what I have so far, please do so.

there is some stuff on my web site but not a whole lot.

Bob,

It's not a Morgan, but have a look on:

They're doing Lotus 11 bodywork to go (IIRC) on locost chassis.

Looks very nice, and rarer than a Morgan!!

It would be slick to have an old Auto Union style body over your car...

check out www.ngcars.co.uk for their designs - very modern yet classic
