The tyres (tires) on the Ferraris were supplied by the Belgian company Engelbert, who subsequently entered into a partnership with Uniroyal and were taken over by Continental. Nothing to do with Pirelli.

That crash that ended this event was- from what I’ve read- really grisly for those who had to deal with it. Spectators killed, some pretty violently plus a driver essentially ripped in half. Not a pretty scene.

Looks really nice

Great vid and great walk around and commentary Some classic Kit cars there and great to see and hear about them.

Where's the Dutton

Great book - I bought a copy and it led me to kit cars and building an MK Indy. Learnt and enjoyed building the car equally as much as the end result!

Bc??.those lotuses are way to small...impossible

Fantastic vid.

So cool. Thank, Trevor!

🙋FROM PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷🇺🇸 Great pieces ive got a 65 JIM KELLISON ASTRA GT

That is superb. Any more info on spec of the engine, any mods to Locost plans or thoughts on getting it through IVA please?

Motorcycle engines rule the world of budget motorsport :-D

Ron has inspired so many to build these great little cars, a real Legend! Thank you Ron.👍👍👍😎

Correct answer is Exige or Elise! The two latter cars are increasing departures from the Lotus ethos of add lightness.

I remember seeing a Lotus 7 next to a barn and covered in weeds and vines 50 years ago near Spokane Washington.

What seats are those and where did you source them?

Ron is a very interesting and passionate man and he gave me a lot of his time with his personal involvement modifying my chassis in the driver's footwell to take account of my height when I placed my order. I'll never know what planet he was on in his £250 build cost claim but nonetheless it set the tone for building an interesting and fun car on the cheap which in my case turned out to be about £4000!

I always wanted to build one from the time the book first came out. But family responsibilities and not knowing how to weld I kept pushing it off. I'm now 72 YO and would still like to build one just to say I did it . The problem I now have is my wife would make me get rid of my Spitfire as I'm not allowed to take up the entire garage .

Fantastic vid!

300 horse power in a seven-ish package is interesting. What is the overall weight expected to be for this car shown?

GBS is looking so far forward on the engineering side of things.

Interesting! The Locost frame is eerily similar to the Westfield post-litigation bare frame.

Great Video to hear the History from from the Man himself,I'm sure this will form an important part of History well done.

Legend

My brothers got one.

I wish we could start a whole cycle cart league here. Kids would LOVE that.

I went today and it was a busy event once again. More traders than last year and more cars to see in general. I got there early so I could get a good look around the trade hall before it became busy. Some really high quality exhibits, especially the GT40's and Cobra's. I was going to have a chat with Trevor but he was doing interviews with the kit suppliers every time I saw him ! I caught up with a few people I hadn't seen in a while on the Tribute owners club stand as well as a few others. Great day today, if you go Sunday it will be sunny all day which is a bonus !

Great Video Thank you 👍

Great episode . Learned a lot . So many tricks and tips. Keep up the good work!

It would be nice, if in these meets with the pros, they would share real infos, like how you design the suspension, what to look for, what software to use, etc. Shortening a steering rack, for example, or do I need a carbon canister, to avoid the gas smell in the garage after a drive, or how many circuits are in a Locost, which body wire harness they would recommend(for Locost prices), how they made the windshield frame, how they dealt with the windshield glass, how they bent the aluminum sheets for the body work, etc.. Maybe even some registration examples, or needed lights(heights from the round), PCV is needed, (if not how they deal with those gases) to pass the inspection.

I know exactly how it feels. Yes you are right. It’s important that you try to do every day a little bit. I took a long weekend off to get progress on my rear end and axle!

Rage cleaning! My new phrase for the day! Also…link to your channel?

Thank you

I'm American sir . How much does he pay to race sir.total price for car

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpeTqKmoqbB9jqc Save some money and get (make) rubber guards! I have a Caterham SV 450; the original stainless rear guards looked horrible fairly quickly as they get dented and stone pocked....this will quickly happen with carbon-fibre too, but rubber, way cheaper than either, just shrugs off stone damage. Simply cut from black rubber sheet1/8" thick....they look way nicer then stainless. Lighter too!

Very interesting video great ideas from these guys Thanks

This is great. ive struggled so much with that question. Time is thr biggest issue.

great webinar, im in Scotland and got a Robin Hood series 2 [ Ford cortina 2l based], As well as a road legal i also hillclimb the car.

Nice L322! Didn't know Van Dusen did this show. Only a week too late 😅

Ron Champions Locost 001 will be at Malvern Kit Car show 1st and 2nd June !!!

An Elise Turbo and Evora S are two cars in my garage. Love them both equally. Wasn't impressed at all with Emira test drive.

Emergency hair dresser required.

Neither . Both Styling disasters . Lotus lost it from the Esprit onwards . These cars are too small and made only for hair stylists

It’s Al G’s Locost McSorley home build! … and a beauty! - Weekend Blat #1 - Christmas Cheer! kzbin.info_N1tM7Sx2W4?feature=share

Malvern is a great venue for sure, easy to get to from most parts of the country and in a fantastic setting. Last years event had a really positive vibe, everyone I spoke to said the show was a big success.

Evora all day, its just a better Lotus. Better engine / power, better aero, better sound, and worse comfort and sound system, so all around, its a better Lotus ! The Emira is a Lotus for the mass ! It's the brand strategy to try to touch more public that's all...

Can't wait !!!
