Registration No: RO08 RYO
Chassis No: 20703120768
MOT: May 2025
A kit car inspired by the classic Lotus Seven, the Locost 7 concept was developed in the mid-1980s as a budget-friendly alternative to similar kit cars. It initially used the chassis of a Triumph Spitfire but later evolved to have its own ladder chassis design.
Declared manufactured in 2009, the Locost offered was road registered on the 2nd June that year, although it is believed that it only properly took to the road in 2013. ‘RO08 RYO’ utilises a 1800cc 16-valve Zetec engine which benefitted from a full overhaul in 2010 at the cost of over £1,100 including re-boring the block, new big end and main bearings, ground crank, head work and a Kent cam kit. The Zetec engine uses Honda Hurricane carburettors and an Odyssey wiring loom and is allied to a five-speed gearbox and Sierra differential, with the GTS specification also including aeroscreen, harnesses and bucket seats. Covering some 5,100 miles since the completion of the build, the GTS has benefitted from full front suspension renewal and new front wings in 2022 with MAC Motorsport (costing c.£3,700), as well as re-wiring work in 2023. Immense fun for relatively low outlay, this Locost is a great candidate for anyone looking for a kit car for next spring/summer with minimal mileage since completion!
