Can somebody explaine sevenesque cars to me?

[cheezburger]

So a sevenesque car is a clone of the original lotus 7 cars. The rights to build the 7 was sold to Caterham Cars but you can purchase a kit from many companies. If you would like to build it from scratch you buy the Locost book. They all follow the same lotus 7 space frame. Am I right?

Ah OK, What's everybody's opinions on the locost? I want a big project to christen my new workshop.

When you say the original design do you mean one based around mark 2 escort parts? Basically I want a fun, fast, drivers car. I have the skill and the tools to build one, I really fancy the challenge of building one from scratch. But what the deciding factor is I've never been in one I don't really know what they're like. Would you consider a well built locost a fast, nice handling car?

I want to fabricate everything my self not buy it in a kit, it's half the fun for me. I don't think I'll bother anymore. Unless the tiger Avon book is good?
