This uncompromising little two-seater road car is fondly known among Frank Costin enthusiasts as 'The Dustbin' or 'The Mule' but, don't be fooled, for in true Costin style it is an incredibly light and capable vehicle. The aluminium-bodied spaceframe chassis features racing-style double wishbone front suspension, and is powered by a BMC A Series mounted in the rear, driving the rear wheels. The car carries the chassis number SG01, in which SG stands for Simon Garrett, a man who collaborated with Costin on a number of projects and went on to design the Bluebird that broke the World Land Speed record for electric vehicles at Pendine in 2000 - he is, however, arguably better known as an artist. Registered on a Q plate and always dry stored, this fascinating Costin prototype is currently a non-runner, so will require a degree of recommissioning before taking to the roads once more. It comes complete with a current-type V5 log book.
