Which car name on your papers?
 
Hi!

Living in France, it's really a strong problem to have papers for a "selfmade" car.

The possibility should be to have this car registered in an european land, and then bring it back to France, with the foreign papers.

But when your Locost passed the SVA, which mark do you have on your papers? Locost? Seven?.... other one?

Thanks! :D

Hi Laurent,

My original Locost is registered as a "Locost", the prototype Roadster is registered as a "Gibbs special" as we hadn't sorted out a name for the car at the time!

I've certainly heard of people registering cars in England and shipping them to other European countries.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Chris ;)

Thanks Chris!

Locost is surely a concept only, I'm wrong?

I don't know if it would be accepted as a car mark in europe.

I'd like to know which name they gave to it, when they brought it at home.

I know about a Cobra replica who has been inspected as a Factory Five (american kit).

I don't know much more... .

Thanks Chris.

I'll ask around at the big kit car show at the weekend and get back to you.

Cheers

Chris

In UK, if you made it, you can call whatever you want, as long as it does not contain certain 4 letter words:D

I may be wrong, but I think Caterham have a trademark/copyright thingy regarding the use of the number 7 regarding cars...

C7
 
Did nt Chris say you can call it what ever you want. I do not think the Caterham would have the pilkinton right to it. How about C7 as Chris 7.

C7 is probably owned by Citroen. How about R7 for Roadster 7?
