Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 1,300cc crossflow Ford, single Weber, 4 speed. Ford Escort suspension (and the VIN, from a 1970 Ford Escort 4 Dr.). Rough, tired, dirty and neglected. Adorned with Lotus badges. Awful paint. The manufacturer is, by the way, really Locust Cars, Ltd.

Market commentary

This may be the basis for a fun and competitive autocrosser, but the distance between here and there is very long, arduous and identified by a trail of emptied checkbooks. Its a perversion of Colin Chapmans principles and a lot of money was exchanged here for the privilege of defiling his memory.
