Evening all,

I stumbled across this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/haynes-roadster-locost-7-kit-car-chassis-/260593653057?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cac979541) during my evening trawl of Ebay.

Not knocking the bloke but it would take a lot of work to actually turn it in to a Haynes Roadster chassis.

Just worries me that someone could unwittingly purchase it thinking they have a perfect Roadster chassis.

Cheers Ginge

More stumbling,

If only I had £1750 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOUNTUNE-275bhp-SIERRA-COSWORTH-ENGINE-KIT-CAR-/180498766063?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a069098ef) lying around I would snap it up.

I’ll stop looking now and get my bargains at Stoneleigh.

Cheers Ginge

I looked at that earlier Ginge .... Looks like another wrong'un to me :eek: :(

Just wish when folk list that type of thing on ebay they don't use the term Locost/Roadster .... Tis either one or the other, can't be both !!?? ( Chassis & body wise that is ) :rolleyes:

Carefull where you spend your hard earnt cash folks .... If in doubt, give the forum a shout ;)

Certainly not a Gibbs roadster book chassis, maybe a champion one?

Is that chassis right in any way? The transmission tunnel is far to small and I have no idea what is going on with the rear end...
