Built in the spirit of the original Lotus 7, this Locost offers pure, minimalist driving fun. Up front is the classic 1.6-litre Ford Kent engine breathing through twin Weber carburettors, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox – a proven, easy-to-service combination that delivers strong, linear performance in such a lightweight chassis.

Finished in black with matching cycle fenders and a polished roll bar, the car sits on 17-inch EVO alloy wheels that give it real stance while providing plenty of grip. The cockpit is businesslike, with bucket seats and 4-point safety harnesses, keeping the driver securely in place when pressing on.

Independent front suspension, front disc brakes and the low centre of gravity make this a sharp, engaging car on a twisty road or at a track day. Previously associated with the Seven Car Club of Natal, it has the right enthusiast pedigree and offers a fantastic opportunity to get into a raw, analogue sports car experience at sensible money.
