Can you confirm this chassis please
I have just purchased this and took the photos to 'Stoneleigh' but was still not quite sure what model this is. Most votes seam to go for a
lolocost, any idea of the date, thanks from a new starter. (Running gear is Sierra front hubs on double wishbones and independent Sierra rear, again
on double wishbones).

Although was nice to meet you at the show Paul, I'm sure those in the know will be along shortly, I'm just thawing out right now!
Take care
Rich

I think you are right with the Lolocost IRS I will try to scan a brochure for you 2001/2? Try posting on the Robin Hood, Rhocar site someone may be
able to help, there weren't many made.
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

I took the photo to their area at Stoneleigh and they thought it had only had a short life but was probably a lolocost, possibly built by a guy called
Richard ?? ( forgotton his surname)

And the wishbones are in single shear. So better put there also some extra.

The wishbone bolts are in double shear, they just happen to be using one long bolt instead of two short ones.
The roll bar braces are a bit 'decorative' however.

Thanks to everyone who replied and to Dingz for the chassis diagram. I think I now know its a lolocost, my chassis was galvanised when bought and has
a few more cross braces at the rear. Great Forum thanks again.
