Ron Champion licensed the Locost to Champion Motors in the USA. They then developed a Locost chassis for a MX5 donor, sold a bunch of chassis. The Build a Cheap Sportscar book was about assembling one. Tanner spent most of the book complaining about it not being perfect.

Westfield are making a model for the MX5 now. Flying Miata in the USA have a build diary about putting one together.

MX5 based cars are a better choice for the USA because we never had many Cortinas here, and very few Sierras (Merkur XR4ti). Unfortunately there are no prebuilt chassis or chassis plans available for us at this time.
