My friend's building something similar to you too, he has a Locust 7 in progress..... man, the "7" replicas, great cars to make yourself.

Do you know the company that make it? Ask your mate.

[MikeMcLarenF1]

oh.... there's really no "Company", its basically name of the car that you make yourself, he has a book on them..... the book's name is "Build your own race car for under $20,000 Cdn" and the book describes the building process of a 7 replica, and the author calls this particular model the "Locust 7". I dunno, I guess you can call it the same name as any other 7 replicas......

Oh yeah i have that book, i didn't fancy welding up my own chassis.

This is why it is sooo cheap to buy part-built Locosts
Lots of folks get part way through and decide it's too long or too much hassle.
Friends building another pure track car for his son using a Locost chassis complete except for engine mounts and all the running gear - 200 quid
Worth checking local papers, especially the free ones and even eBay
Lots in the UK anyway

I am now starting a new car build. The car is called a Luego Velocity, I will get it on the 5th of June. I have a 1.1 kent out of a Ford Sierra, this is very insurance friendly and it is a light car so it still has speed. As you can probably tell it is my first car. I have a website for my new build!

how much is the insurance for a libra like your dads?

take it that you have just passed your test then is this is your first car WELL DONE if that is true

No I am 15! My Dad pays around £280 on the Libra, the Luego will cost me about £900.
